Is there an up-to-date and, most importantly, good desktop app for Lemmy? My instance is having issues with the web frontend at the moment, it’d be nice to have a backup. Ubuntu 25.04, if that matters.

I use Tesseract, which is fantastic. Be wary, though: the developer recently put the project in maintenance mode and swore off the fediverse, then i guess changed his mind and continues to develop it - it’s certainly possible it could happen again.
Oh, I think I’ve heard of Tesseract before… The reason I ended up going with Alexandrite was because Tesseract looked a little over-featured and very busy; not really what I was looking for, but it looks great!
A shame about those issues with developments. Sometimes that’s just what happens with Open Source, especially for niche stuff developed by a single individual. Do you know why the dev swore off the Fediverse? I’m very interested in why someone would decide that. I did go thru their post history and got an idea as to a possibility, but I wonder if they made a post about it or something that I might’ve missed.
Here’s the Readme from the commit when he discontinued Tesseract.
Here’s a post where the developer explains his reasons.
Thanks!
