I'm on mobile, so I don't think anything will change for me, but I'm all for the change if it works for others.
I've already been using Alexandrite as a front end to connect this server. I like the clean layout.
Would you find any benefit to us hosting an Alexandrite front end?
What do you think a good URL for it would be? (for example x.wetshaving.social).
Yeah, I think it might be useful. I'd recommend setting the ALEXANDRITE_FORCE_INSTANCE variable for docker to ensure it's only used by sub members.
Since the project is named after the gemstone in the developer's wife's ring, I think gem.wetshaving.social might work, or alx.wetshaving.social.
That's how https://old.wetshaving.social is set up (single instance).
I'm going to keep brainstorming some url ideas, then all we have to do is make @djundjilla@sub.wetshaving.social create the domain.
