Looks great, but I can't seen any installation doco in the repo. How are people using it? Via alexandrite's own website?
You can, and I'm doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.
Yeah, after looking around, it seems that's the only option. I'd rather self-host something like this, if possible. I'll look into contacting the dev and ask.
I haven't tried it, but looking at the source, but you should be able to simply clone the repo, run "npm install" and "npm run build" and deploy the output to a webserver.
