Oops forgot to post links, I edited the post.

I host Alexandrite at https://alexandrite.app/ and several instances also host Alexandrite on their own domains, like https://a.lemmy.world

You can link to communities/users by typing the full name/instance stuff out, but I don’t have any search/auto-complete stuff for either of those yet.

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.

I’m not sure, I get the comment count from one place, and the list of comments from another, so it’s the server saying there are two comments but then not giving me any. I’ve seen on the official ui that sometimes the comment count doesn’t match how many comments I see (like on the lemmy.world crosspost of that it says there are 3 but shows me two), so I just assumed it’s a bug on the Lemmy side but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks! :)

(dev here) I had an idea for how I’d build a profile switcher recently, it’s something I want to implement soon.

Eventually yes, but I haven’t done the work yet. It’s high on my todo list though.

Eventually I want to add a light theme, but it’ll probably be a while yet.

Thanks!

This should be fixed now!

No worries! There was actually a bug yesterday that your first comment got me to look into and fix, and I haven’t spent any more time on this besides replying to your comments so not much time was wasted. Just glad to know it works :)

I’ve never used Brave, does it have any functionality like the Dark Reader extension built in? I know on Firefox the Dark Reader extension overwrites theme colors. If that doesn’t fix it maybe I’ll have to download Brave and check it out.

Hmm. So every time after you change the colors you need to refresh?

Heck yeah!

I haven’t implemented Lemmy’s settings yet, but if you go to your home instance, then settings, then change “Type” to “All” and save, then Alexandrite should default to that.

Yep, I will get this fixed.

Thanks! The background stuff was easy just because of how I had already set things up, I plan on adding some more customization at some point for vote colors, links etc.

I think that would be neat, though a little scary as It’s just been one person frantically fixing bugs and adding features. It could definitely be done! I need to work on the self hosting instructions and probably provide a Dockerfile at some point first. Once Alexandrite matures further I could see it happening if any instance owners were interested, I think that’d be pretty neat.

Hell yeah!

Hey you found me! Thanks for the shout out!

I didn’t get a notification on Lemmy for the Mastodon mention, but you @'ing me on Lemmy made me finally get around to testing out mentions and realized I had a bug (going to “Mentions” in your inbox would show replies instead), fixed! :)
