I’d like Lemmy to attract a wide range of folks who contribute to a diverse range of communities. While the official web UI is very rich in features, I think it might be a bit intimidating for non-IT people.

So I figured: why not try to be the change I want to see in this world? Here’s my attempt, implemented in SvelteKit.

Works for me! Let us know when it’s ready to test drive…

Awesome. Read-only browsing is fairly stable at this point, but I think I’ll need to have basic account interactions like upvote, downvote and comment implemented before I have a minimum viable product. In general, I prefer to polish the experience before expanding the feature set.

Will it be open source?

Yes. Maybe GPL, maybe MIT, maybe something else. But some flavor of open source license.

Lemmy is AGPL so you might want to do that.

Thanks, I’ve settled on AGPL as well. I expect to release the source code somewhere in the coming days.
