But it's not an instance. It's a just a web app for lemmy
Yes you use their backend and you can develop your own UI if you'd like
Or you can make a copy (fork) lemmy-ui and make your changes
It’s got to be two separable layers. Sounds like the lemmy server just happens to be bundled with a particular UI layer that can access the server’s APIs.
Yeah that's the latest lemmy-ui repository. You have the option to choose your own from the backend
But you could switch out the whole lemmy ui with wefwef if you wanted to. It probably doesn't have all the admin functionality, but theoretically it's possible.
