This is my attempt at an oldschool, beefed-up desktop app for Lemmy for those of us who yearn for that kind of experience.
Currently it only does reading, if people use it I'll work on comment support too.
If you want to give it a spin, you can download the flatpak file from here and run it.
I'm only interested if it automatically appends **56K WARNING** to any post with a gallery.
Running this on Fedora, and when I try to log into my account I get the following error:

Oh, yeah I got this too. It doesn't work with lemmy.ml because they don't provide API access for some reason (at least the API that this client uses)...
Aha! An answer. Thank you!
I haven’t even downloaded yet but just from the screenshot I love it and the idea. Also, what are you using for that Windows 7 look? I’m assuming it’s not actually Windows 7. I’m realizing I miss that and that was kind of peak computing to me, or at least the best Windows offered.

Yup, I feel exactly the same :D It's called AeroThemePlasma and I dig it so much
This is incredible!
It is! Now I've just gotta overcome my disgust of C++ in order to write apps for it... (this client is written in Vala, ie. C#)
i unironically like this. is there similar on linux?
From what I can see, its a flatpak.
didnt find it in flathub
not really feeling like compiling it and maintaining it
In the post body there's a flatpak file. https://github.com/albert-tomanek/lemmy_desktop/releases/download/1/lemmy_desktop-558037f.flatpak
wow dumb me i should have seen it
To be honest, I glossed over it as well until I read your comment.
