Please visit our wiki, which is always and forever a work in progress.

Check out these alternative front-ends for this server:

https://gem.wetshaving.social - a nice modern interface

https://old.wetshaving.social - designed to look like old.reddit.com

Our sister Mastodon instance is https://wetshaving.social.

Sup everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the season of decorative gourds.

I know a lot of you just use mobile apps (yay, mobile apps!), but for the few that also use a web browser, I've been slowly rolling out alternative "front ends". The normal URL (https://sub.wetshaving.social) has the default front end. It is honestly pretty good, if not a tad dated.

Most recently we brought online https://old.wetshaving.social, which is designed to look like old.reddit.com. Even though I'm used to that layout from real-reddit, I'm still finding it a bit lacking for Lemmy, especially from a moderator point of view.

Next, we want to introduce the Alexandrite front end. @[email protected] already uses this, accessible from https://alexandrite.app/sub.wetshaving.social. Feel free to check it out there until we get ours behind https.

Anyway, we want to run our own instance of Alexandrite, which will be locked to our lemmy server, simplifying the experience for people like @[email protected].

All that is to say, we need a URL to put it behind.

So far, the suggestions are:

gem.wetshaving.social - Alexandrite is named after a gem on the devs wife's ring, and of course there's the GEM connection with our hobby.
alx.wetshaving.social
new.wetshaving.social - simply the opposite of old.wetshaving.social

Please leave your ideas, good or bad. Often our worst ideas turn out to be great, so don't be shy.

THANKS!

Seconding the seconding (not sure whether this is thirding or fourthing, though)

Isn't it well accepted that seconding is the first step of a Fibonacci sequence and is followed by a second seconding +1, then a thirding +2, fifthing +3, eighthing +5, etc?

My bad - this is obviously the correct answer
