Did the entire server get put on Alexandrite by default, and how do I get off Alexandrite and go back to default Lemmy UI? (ani.social)

I typed in "ani.social" in my phone browser, expecting to see the normal Lemmy UI. Instead I'm confronted with the Alexandrite front end. I don't think I clicked anything to give me this front end; I think it's a total surprise to me, it's possible I'm an idiot who missed something and accidentally clicked a setting. Asking for help here after clicking around in more settings trying to figure out how to turn it off.

It's still using default Lemmy-UI. Just tested on both my phone and PC with Firefox and Brave. What browser are you using?

Alexandrite is at https://alexandrite.ani.social/ani.social

    🤔 I'll test the other FE for a few days, there was two reasons I stopped using interstellar that I resumed back with lemmy. Iirc one of them was not allowing my diverse input method: need shavian, UTF-16, CJK, markdown support, etc..

    not op.

    Alexandrite:

    Pros:

    • Emojified UI
    • Compactness
    • Subscriptions on sidebar.
    • IME 𐑢𐑻𐑒𐑕.
    • theme customization (AMOLED true dark, hue control)
    • Language posting autoselected (英語です)
    • Hotkeys
    • Scroll to Top

    Cons:

    • no attachment emoji on «Comment» field
    • broken external article import

    Neutral:

    • Infinite scrolling

    INSTA-🙅‍♀️ on ϕton. It crunched sized attachments.

    Tesseract
    Pro:

    • OpenDyslexic
    • color system
    • pseudopfps
    • IME friendly
    • Emojified UI
    • Compactness
    • Scroll to Top

    Con:

    • disallowing me to zoom in manually.
    • URL button inserts "url" wo/autofocus
    • load times
    • inbox collapsed,
    • ↳ mark to [have] read.
    • no language selected

    photon.ani.social's on a old version that uses a different way of lemmy's resizing, they're ~11 months out of date

    I could potentially add an option to waste heaps of bandwidth and load full images for everything (like everyone else, including lemmy-ui) but it seems wasteful

    Maybe give the option then, default to crunching. But I like the card system in Alexandrite & lemmy, that auto expands the post. I enrolled here because I enjoy my instance’s «Local» posts, so I would be wasting (2 Bw Post ×) for the local feed if I expanded every post.

    For «All», sure I can see the (subs clients posts Bw ×) savings, but not «local.»

    Do you mean searching the post using the URL (such as https://ani.social/post/17919648)? It doesn't seem to work for Alexandrite and Tesseract. It works for Photon though.

    I don't think it's a config issue because it also doesn't work on the developers' deployment too: https://alexandrite.app/ and https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

    I'm on Safari on my cellphone. Trying another browser, weirdly enough, makes it normal again. Thanks!
