A new feature for our server. (sub.wetshaving.social)

Do you miss the layout of OLD reddit? Do you wish Lemmy looked liked that? Well, check this out... https://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". https://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 (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), and one called Alexandrite that looks very interesting https://lemmy.world/post/1095076. I might play with that one in the future.

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.

That's how https://old.wetshaving.social is set up (single instance).

I'm going to keep brainstorming some url ideas, then all we have to do is make @djundjilla@sub.wetshaving.social create the domain.
