Tesseract: An Advanced Lemmy Client

The goal of Tesseract is to address as many things in Lemmy that annoy me as I can. I also trawl various "is there any way to [blank] in Lemmy?" posts to get feature ideas. Both of those lists are pretty extensive, so Tesseract has accumulated quite a few features.

Github: https://github.com/asimons04/Tesseract/

Hosted / Demo Instance: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

Note that the hosted instance defaults to Lemmy World, but it is unlocked to be able to connect to any Lemmy server.

Announcements, support, and guidance for the Tesseract UI.

All instance rules apply here. Beyond that, just be civil and constructive.

This announcement covers both 1.4.5 and 1.4.6

(I really need to start disabling the UI debug button when I take screenshots lol)

1.4.6

Bugfixes

  • [Modlog] Fixed some filter selections not clearing from modlog when clicking "Reset Modlog Filters"

Changes/Enhancements

  • Post titles now render as markdown (merged from an old branch as I was unaware Lemmy-UI finally supports this)
  • If downvotes are disabled at the instance level, upvote buttons are now hearts

New Feature: Disable Downvotes

Users can now disable downvotes in the UI (regardless of instance settings).

When downvotes are disabled in the UI, the behavior is the same as if they were disabled on the server:

  • The "downvote" button is removed
  • Downvote counts are not shown (upvote counts are independent of downvote counts)
  • The "upvote" button becomes a "heart" icon (which acts like a "favorite" or "like" button on other platforms)

You can also combine this with the hide scores option. In that case, the button will just be a "heart" that's highlighted if you have upvoted/liked the post/comment and plain if you've not voted.

Note: If your instance already has downvotes disabled globally, then the UI option to disable them will be hidden since it would be useless.


1.4.5

Bugfixes

  • [Markdown Renderer] Fixed bug where trailing spaces on the end of a spoiler container would break the rendering

Enhancements

  • Add "Ground News" to the "Alternate Sources" dropdown

Great, especially the "disable downvotes"!

Thanks!

Yeah, I like the idea of being able to disable downvotes on a user level. That way people can disable them if they want and others can leave them enabled without having to force it one way or the other for everyone at the server level.

Have been running with the 'disable downvotes' feature enabled for a bit now, and it's a totally different experience. I kind of like it.
