(dev here) I hadn’t really considered it as a full replacement before, but hosting it alongside the instance like a desktop version of m.lemmy.world is something I think would be neat (at least one instance is doing that, with a custom Dockerfile because I haven’t made one yet). I’d need to add some mobile support (which I’m not against doing in the future) and some admin tools probably before it could be a full replacement, both would probably not be for a bit still because I’m still working on feature parity for normal users. Also still waiting on a Lemmy issue to be fixed before I can add image uploading which is the most basic feature the site lacks at the moment.
Wefwef/voyager works well as a mobile interface. It only has an iOS style interface now, but it’s really good, and they’re working on an Android skin if that’s a dealbreaker
A beta version of the Android theme is already in as of 0.24.0! It’s still a work in progress, but Wefwef dev seems to move along at an impressive pace.
This is something I’d really love to see, as well. While I’d say that the default UI on Lemmy is “functional”, in that it gets the job done…I would love if the backend could support alternative bundled frontends. This is something that Pleroma supports, and it’s a great feature. It’s something I wish more Fediverse software could officially support.
Is there a way to use this as a total replacement for the lemmy-ui as an instance admin?

I’d like to be able to run it as an alt UI on my instance as well.

True, I’ve been using Voyager on my phone and it’s a big improvement over lemmy-ui in my opinion.
I exclusively use Lemmy via voyager.

It’s defeinitely possible with lemmy.
Check out
endlesstalk.org, they have three frontends!m.endlesstalkfor voyager,old.for the old reddit web ui andnew.for alexandrite.Not to mention
lemmy.worldthat also providem.lemmy.worldfor voyager (formerly wefwef).I think the dev is working on that by making a docker image(?)
the dev is @sheodox@lemmy.world and they have a community for the app at !alexandrite@lemmy.world
