What is an alternative to Tesseract? (lemmy.zip)

I'm on my laptop and using the regular lemmy.zip site, but wonder if there's something to make my Lemmy experience more tailored to my preferences. I use Connect on mobile, for reference.

I couldn't help but notice that you have mlmym listed as “Mlymym” on this page. Should probably fix that 😅

The lemmy.zip admin has also started their own fork of the project a few days ago, which could also be mentioned for completeness: https://git.dotzip.ltd/demigodrick/mlmym

And lastly, there's a very minor thing I noticed, which is that the badge for my repository (code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym) uses the codeberg logo instead of the forgejo one, and incorrectly mentions gitea in the alt text.

Otherwise, great overview!

Tesseract was a client for Lemmy and Sublinks. The project was shut down by the maintainers, and it has been removed from this page as a result.

the way they give zero context behind the decision is sus af.

I wrote that line 😄

The situation was still ongoing at the time of that change, and I figured that a new user doesn't want to read a bunch of lore if they're just there to pick a UI. Anyone that is curious can ask here or simply search for it

I just call them hypercubes, so people don't think I'm talking about a L'Engle novel.

I seem to remember Alexandrite being the main recommendation for people missing some of the customization offered by Tesseract.

You could listen to some Erra, some Periphery, throw in some Sleep Token every now and then... and I completely missed the point of this post.
