Wait which frontends don't need that monster?
Basic Lemmy works without JS. Some stuff breaks, but it's still usable.
Leave JS alone? 🥲 /s
I disliked that Tesseract was a bit of a busy mess, visually. I genuinely wanted to like it because it definitely added several useful features. I even self-hosted it for a while. But the default Lemmy UI is so much more simple/streamlined and handles 95% of what I want to do anyway. I would only use Tesseract on occasion, when I needed to perform some action that I knew Tesseract handled better than the default Lemmy UI. But default PieFed supports every feature I liked out of Tesseract anyway, so I didn't miss it at all when I switched from a Lemmy instance to a PieFed instance.
Wait, people are actually out here daily driving the default Lemmy web UI instead of using their own client?
Definitely why wouldn't I?
Yeah, that's a pretty common setup. I'd estimate about half of users just stick with the default web UI.
yes, me.
Have you tried Alexandrite?
