  1. I saw Zultanite, a rare #gem in #Turkiye that undergoes the #Alexandrite #colour change effect:

    Our cones are not created equal; the short 'blue' wavelength sensor is well separated from the similar 'green' & 'red' curves 👁️

    Alexandrite cuts off blue (like a yellow object) but embedded metals absorb the middle spectrum, meaning in black-body curve candlelight the 'green'/'red' ratio gets miscorrected by our colour constancy mechanisms🕯️

  2. @kritikaPensulo 3rd party devs help a lot. For example #Alexandrite (example: a.lemmings.world) is a beautiful and functional UI, so is #Photon (example: p.lemmings.world).

    And for the moderation part we're currently developing #Fediseer (gui.fediseer.com) to help quite a bit. And what's more, it can help other #fediverse projects as well (for example #Mastodon is fully supported for synchronization).

  3. If anyone is looking to use #Lemmy more and is put off by the UI a little, give #Alexandrite a go:

    alexandrite.app/

    It's a front end that points at your instance, but it has a much more polished feel to it. No more pagination, a usable list of subs, more losing place in feeds...

    The dev reckons he'll include the ability to self-host, so hopefully some Lemmy instances will offer it as an alternative (as Lemmy.world has done with Voyager).

  4. A #meteor shower, sparks miracles for some, predicts #kerfuffle for others.
    Perspective - we need to flex it like a #muscle, hold it like #Alexandrite, let it reflect different colours in the light, and #pollinate inspiration.
