Alexandrite is slick, gorgeous, and brings a lot to the Lemmy experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Honestly, I think this is the real selling point of the fediverse, at least for developers. There's no incentive to force people to use Official Mobile Clients™. You can literally spin up something (meaning a fediverse server) locally, if you want, and test against that until you have something that works. And as long as you stick to the API, you can build whatever you want.
