There’s a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there’s a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.
Would love some help if anyone is interested.

Preview so far though much yet still has to be done
I had been also working on something like this for a couple days. also with sveltekit even!
it’s not public yet as I really don’t have anything too much to show for, but it’s slowly coming together
also it’s still a question whether upstream Lemmy will loosen their cors restrictions to allow for 3rd party web UIs. the more the merrier imo
At this point I might as well release it onto the wild. No clue If I’ll work on it until there is a definitive answer to the CORS question: https://github.com/ShittyKopper/lemmik
Obligatory screenshot:
I love SvelteKit. I am a backend dev myself, but this framework made me really get into UI development, just so much easier.
What do you mean by the cors restrictions? I am hosting the front end on the same domain as my backend (just like the lemmy UI) so there shouldn’t be any issues there.
