The 2 frontends are
- Mlmym at old.endlesstalk.org. Here you can get the old.reddit experience.
- Alexandrite at new.endlesstalk.org. “A beautiful and convenient desktop-first alternate web UI for Lemmy.”
- Registering isn’t supported yet. Need to sign up using old.endlesstalk.org or new.endlesstalk.org.
Everyone is welcome to try them and sign up(not required). It is running on a fairly beefy server, so should be able to take a decent amount of users.
You must log in or register to comment.
Love that you’re doing this. Hope more instances follow suit!!
Alexandrite looks great, thanks for the dockerfile.
Noob question: could this be build as a native theme? Lemmy has an extra theme folder 🤔
I don’t know too much about frontend, but I my guess would be, that it would be difficult to get an 1 to 1 copy, but you coud get something fairly close.
Fediverse software is so cool, but most themes look like from early 2000’s 😅
Mastodon has the same problem. More modern themes would be cool
Love the look of Alexandrite. Is there a way to self-host it? I’m not familiar with Svelte.
(I’m the dev of Alexandrite) Officially there isn’t yet a way to self-host it without modifying the code (unless you host it on one of a few specific cloud providers like the official Alexandrite site does), but now that people are self hosting anyway I think adding support for it is going to be higher up on my priority list!
I created a fork, where I added a Dockerfile, so if you know Docker and how to build it, should be able to use that.
It exposes port 3000 and you need to point PUBLIC_INSTANCE to where the main instance is hosted.
