Tesseract: An Advanced Lemmy Client

The goal of Tesseract is to address as many things in Lemmy that annoy me as I can. I also trawl various "is there any way to [blank] in Lemmy?" posts to get feature ideas. Both of those lists are pretty extensive, so Tesseract has accumulated quite a few features.

Github: https://github.com/asimons04/Tesseract/

Hosted / Demo Instance: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

Note that the hosted instance defaults to Lemmy World, but it is unlocked to be able to connect to any Lemmy server.

Announcements, support, and guidance for the Tesseract UI.

All instance rules apply here. Beyond that, just be civil and constructive.

Lately I have had the need to clear browser cookies. What I noticed is that not only will I be logged out of my account (logical) but the settings I had set in Tesseract are also reset to their default state. Logging into the server where I have my account does not give me my settings back unfortunately.

Is there a way to save all my settings? And if there is no option to do so, can we have that in Tesseract?
Ideally it would be on my own storage location. I host Tesseract on my docker server and if the settings can be saved there automatically then that would be great.

I don't know about self hosting, but personally i just export my settings and store it in the cloud. Go Settings > "Import/Export"

There's also a way to save the settings, and directly store it on lemmy, but...

This will break the CSS in Lemmy-UI for this account: This is a horrible abuse of the Lemmy API, but the theme field is the only available settings key that's available in the API that's able to hold arbitrary text data. To fix the broken CSS in Lemmy-UI, use the "Reset" option below to restore the theme key to a value that's valid for the Lemmy-UI CSS selector.
