Are there any tools you wish you had to make parts of this easier?

Thanks for bringing the instance back up, gabe. It is risky and a huge responsibility to host an instance for so many people. I really appreciate you doing it. Things happen.
Good on her for owning upto it and him for not making it awkward.
There unfortunately isn’t a way to force the UI to be one of those ones by default for literature.cafe [...] Doing so would break federation.
Isn't the UI separate from the backend and run as a separate process? I haven't done this nor seen anyone else do this yet so this is just an educated guess, but I believe this means that anything the standard lemmy-ui can do can be done by calling the APIs directly, ergo you can host a custom frontend on https://literature.cafe without breaking federation. But I guess that doing that would need extra work for you every time you want to upgrade because now you can't use the standard docker image?
I mostly use mobile apps so the web frontend does not make a difference to me. I actually like the default one for my desktop. 🙂
