Oh this looks great! I'd love to host this alongside my instance.
I already do with WefWef - https://app.thelemmy.club
Maybe something like desktop.thelemmy.club
Is all the action client side?
Thanks!
See my other comment about self hosting, as it's probably not super easy right now.
The site uses Sveltekit and so far every interaction with Lemmy happens server side, so it's probably not as easy to host as WefWef. I got partway through implementing image uploading yesterday until I hit a bug (fix just got merged today!) that prevented that, but image uploading is going to happen client side so it doesn't cause extra server load.
Well that's not ideal, both resource wise and the fact that this would cause you to run into rate limiting issues very fast
Hey, just wanted to let you know I just updated the site to do everything client side. Haven't done anything yet about the self hosting instructions though, but thought I'd update you.
Another random reply to an old comment! I've got a branch out for self hosting Alexandrite if you happened to be interested in trying it out at all, more info on this post.
Ahh, I hadn't considered the rate limiting stuff, great point. I will probably move things to the client at some point in the near future, so it's easier for me to host too. Right now it's using Cloudflare Pages and so far my usage today is well within the free tier limits, but hosting it as a static site elsewhere would be more easily scalable.
