    Love the look of Alexandrite. Is there a way to self-host it? I’m not familiar with Svelte.

      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.

    I’'m one of the people who sheepishly really liked “new” reddit’s interface, so Alexandrite is like catnip to me!

    Infinite scroll! No more losing place in feeds!

    I was aware of mlmym but not alexandrite. This is cool, thanks! I’ll try it out today.

    Alexandrite looks great, thanks for the dockerfile.

    Noob question: could this be build as a native theme? Lemmy has an extra theme folder 🤔

    new.endlesstalk.org looks very pretty, and it’s all very speedy, but - for me, on Microsoft Edge - clicking ‘Subscribed’ or ‘Local’ or ‘All’ doesn’t actually change anything.

    Also, I tried to migrate my subscriptions etc with LASIM, but - for old.endlesstalk.org - it says the API isn’t there, and for endlesstalk.org and new.endlesstalk.org it uploads and says it’s worked, but nothing is there for any of the site versions.

      Hmm. It shouldn’t work for old.endlesstalk.org, since it has a setup, where the backend isn’t reachable, but it should work for the other 2.

      I have just found that the image service has had some files corrupted and therefor it isn’t working currently, so that might be the cause? I’m working on restoring a backup, so it works again.

      Hopefully that fixes the issue. Will let your know, when the image service works again.

        Re: navigating between Subscribed, Local or All on the Alexandrite version, I’ve just realised that I also have to press “Go>” to make it change, so sorry about that.

        Re: using LASIM to upload subscriptions still doesn’t do anything, unfortunately. It might be the app - I’ve never used it on anything before tbh.

          I found the issue. I had set the rate limit for messaging to 0(unlimited), which LASIM wasn’t set to handle.

          I have now set another rate limit, so it should work now(Worked for me atleast)

          No problem.

          I will try to use the tool and see if I can find out, if its the tool or the website. I’ll update, when I find more out.

    I never had considered before a few days ago that someone would host Alexandrite alongside their instance so it never occurred to me that someone might first interact with Lemmy through Alexandrite. I will definitely add registration!

    I’m assuming you’d need an account specifically on endlesstalk.org to use these frontend?

    I’m already moderating a few communities so completely migrating to a new instance is probably not worth it for me (and I’d prefer to keep my sdf.org connections)

    I’d love it if these alternative sites could use a login from a different instance somehow, basically operating in the same way a mobile app does
