Sweeeet desktop first, that’s the gap cuz Voyager iOS is SO good
Right after posting, I changed my mind about the proxy guess… (sounded wasteful to have to kinda [briefly] mirror so much Lemmy) Thinking direct API calls. Oh yeah indeed client-side rendering, so like:
A Lemmy instance (Lemmy.World, etc) maybe is like kinda a pump station, while Alexandrite is like a high-end faucet. It’s not actually producing or storing water but it sure makes it much better to use than simply having an open pipe.
Well at least perhaps we know the phrase “client side” out of all that!
(One final analogy attempt: we can download a Lemmy app from an App Store and use Lemmy pretty much directly. What if the app was hosted somewhere but nothing else changed? That’s Alexandrite in my mind.)

It’s not the platform, it’s the people using the platform. That’s something the Reddit owners didn’t get.

I’ve been thinking the same, and even saw some folks here earlier today saying similar things. It’s nice, and i hope it lasts 😬🤞
