🇺🇦𖤐AlderForrest 𖤐 🇺🇦 <span>Iceshrimp.net -alustan vakio frontendin voi "korvata" vaihtoehtoisilla frontendeillä. Otin käyttöön reggaamalleni domainille käyttöön chuckya-fe-standalone -frontendin, jonka käyttö aloitetaan yksinkertaisella login -sivulla, joka jälkeen kirjautuminen Oauth -tuella instanssille. Liitteenä kuvat login -sivusta ja näkymä käyttöliittymään. Käyttöliittymä toimii yllättävä hyvin, vaikkakin välillä tulee "501 Not Implemented" ilmoituksia.<br><br></span><a href="https://divergent.1m2lab.engineer/tags/fediadmin" rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#fediadmin</a><span> </span><a href="https://divergent.1m2lab.engineer/tags/iceshrimpdotnet" rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#iceshrimpdotnet</a><span> </span><a href="https://divergent.1m2lab.engineer/tags/alternativefrontend" rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#alternativefrontend</a><span> </span><a href="https://divergent.1m2lab.engineer/tags/chackya" rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#chackya</a>

Edward Loveall<p>Let’s talk about alternative frontends!</p><p>Think about centralized, proprietary platforms like Twitter or YouTube. Alternative frontends let you access that content without actually being on the platform. They are usually more protective of your privacy, a nicer experience, and help everyone transition away from centralization toward platforms that respect the user, like the fediverse!</p><p>An <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/AlternativeFrontend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlternativeFrontend</span></a> thread:</p>
