A new feature for our server.

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨walden@sub.wetshaving.social⁩ to ⁨wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social⁩

Do you miss the layout of OLD reddit? Do you wish Lemmy looked liked that? Well, check this out… old.wetshaving.social

Maybe someone will find it enjoyable to use.

There are some limitations to this front-end, but I don’t know enough about it yet to give any advice.

Technical details:

This front-end is called “mlmym”. github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Like everything else with Lemmy, it might break in the future. All it does is change how stuff is displayed. Think of it like a theme.

There are other front ends available, but this is the only one that we’ve implemented so far. There’s one that makes it look like an old-school forum (github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), and one called Alexandrite that looks very interesting lemmy.world/post/1095076. I might play with that one in the future.

I’m on mobile, so I don’t think anything will change for me, but I’m all for the change if it works for others.

I’ve already been using Alexandrite as a front end to connect this server. I like the clean layout.

  Would you find any benefit to us hosting an Alexandrite front end?
  
  What do you think a good URL for it would be? (for example x.wetshaving.social).

    Yeah, I think it might be useful. I’d recommend setting the ALEXANDRITE_FORCE_INSTANCE variable for docker to ensure it’s only used by sub members.
    
    Since the project is named after the gemstone in the developer’s wife’s ring, I think gem.wetshaving.social might work, or alx.wetshaving.social.
