I really like the UI and wanted to easily access it. Anyone is welcome to use it if they want, but will have to register for an account at endlesstalk.org, since that is the only account you can login with.

Nice! It’d be cool if other instances did more of this!

I'm going to be setting up an instance next month and honestly, if Moderation options are included in Alexandrite by then I'll not only do the same but also try and find a way to make it the default UI too.

When Alexandrite supports all the major functionality of Lemmy, I will make it the default UI as well.

I was planning on adding some mod functionality in the not so distant future! I had to test reporting so I made a second community to test mod stuff, which is just a slippery slope to adding mod tools lol.

That's super cool! How was the self hosting experience? I see you made a few modifications on your fork. I hadn't really thought much about it yet but I think it's a good idea to make some of those things on the sign in page customizable.

Since I have another svelte project, I was able to just copy that one and make a few small adjustments to make Docker work.

As you mentioned I edited the sign in page, mainly to remove the signin for multiple lemmy sites, so it is only possible to login to my site.

Hi I've never built a docker image from scratch and I've tried to build from your repo, but failed.

Do you have build instructions (for a beginner)?

Edit: This one seems to be the bees knees, and works. https://devopscube.com/build-docker-image/

Edit 2: Getting a 502...

Edit 3: Running, just need to modify the landing page... pointers?

Edit 4: All up and running. my.lastname.nz

The landing page is in src/routes/(meta)/instance/+page.svelte. The dev enviroment can be run via npm run dev, after running npm install. Then you should be access the project at localhost:5173 and watch the changes made in +page.svelte with hot reload.
