I am still around, but I’ve always been a lurker. Just saw the notification so I’m a couple days late. I do see mentions!

If it works like blocking works for users/communities, posts from blocked instances shouldn’t show up in Alexandrite too.

Yep, this is a bug I’m aware of, for what it’s worth there’s also an issue on Github someone reported this in. You can track it here.

Yep, I would like to do that at some point, just haven’t been working on Alexandrite all that much lately, but it’s still on my todo list!

Or find and replace all the periods with ones that are slightly larger font.

Ooo I like that idea!

Actually it sounds like it might be possible to keep things backwards compatible so I’ll attempt to make it work for both versions. The 0.19 announcement post mentions it should be possible to stay backwards compatible.

Oops forgot to post links, I edited the post.

I host Alexandrite at https://alexandrite.app/ and several instances also host Alexandrite on their own domains, like https://a.lemmy.world

Yes, launching the game launches Ubisoft’s launcher and you have to sign into that to play.

Also if you use Proton it doesn’t auto close the launcher when you quit the game so it’ll run up your play time while the launcher is minimized to the system tray.

This is intentional, but I’ll probably be changing it.

When you click a post while in a feed it changes the URL so it’s easier for people to share links to posts, as people probably are most used to copying a URL out of the address bar to send to people. It causes a lot of issues though, like the one you mentioned, and the ‘back’ button on your browser basically doesn’t work either. Because of all of that I’m probably going to remove that feature, and make a more prominent “share” button somewhere.
