Interesting ideas. I've never used stumbleupon, but that does sound pretty similar. I'll check it out. If it adds a lot of complication, just do it a simpler way. The main thing is that the chat is very obvious and easily accessible.
Perhaps this is more of a long-term idea, but it would be interesting if people could instantiate a chat window in the comments. Like if a hot thread gets a couple responses deep, someone could type the text "$!NEW_CHAT" or something as their comment, and it would replace that comment with an interactive shout/kiwi IRC terminal. Perhaps also even automatically creating a unique IRC room specific to that sub-sub-thread (named with a structure like "#SubredditName_ThreadName_SubTheadNumber"). Then anyone could start a live chat about anything, anywhere.
This ability to summon live chat in comments could be in addition to having the sidebar/stickied subreddit chat. I think that would be extremely cool and powerful. But that's sort of on the wish list, no rush

Yeah that sounds pretty doable, summoning chat with a comment. I put it on my list.

Alright the new chat client is live! The subreddit has to have chat enabled, the post has to be announced/stickied, and I changed the required post text to be "chat_post_enable" (instead of "chat_kiwiirc_on").
Chat works when logged out too, but when you login/logout of reddit you are not logged out of chat. I will polish that up somehow. I will also work on getting chat in the sidebar instead.

I also set up a file for custom css:
cat ~/src/reddit/r2/r2/public/static/css/theme-custom.less aka /home/reddit/src/reddit/r2/r2/public/static/css/theme-custom.less
I also found out that our changes are in a git repo... (you could create a github account and push changes there to have a backup). try: cd ~/src/reddit && git status

Great ideas, that backup idea sounds clean and easy.
I think I'm going to abandon their #CEE3F8 color banner and go for another color

Just so I understand it, the theme-custom.less is an update to reddit.less, correct? It just appends whatever we put in to it, on top of what is already in reddit.less, right?

theme-custom.less turns into its own css file which is included after reddit.less. i think they're all supposed to get merged into one big css file, and that would put theme-custom at the end. (subreddit custom css is the very last css though)
Oh okay I see, I'll switch over to using that then now that I know it appends to reddit.less

Hey I cant view chat while in fedora on firefox because of SSL issues so I'm messaging you here.
I ran:
sudo dnf install certbox-nginx
It installed correctly, then I ran:
sudo certbot certonly --manual -d antiextremes.com -d www.antiextremes.com
It seems to be working, but now it wants this:
Create a file containing just this data:
gyCHF0VPImoHdqVNOPLaennEDAGIwNJF_kUch7dWJh8.rXAMxWMvnktCPqO0B27MQPsWmXT6zRGILq--SyseYnY
And make it available on your web server at this URL:
http://antiextremes.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/gyCHF0VPImoHdqVNOPLaennEDAGIwNJF_kUch7dWJh8
Can you do that real quick please, if it's not too much trouble? I'm on fedora and can't switch over

You're the best! I saw the directories being created as I was trying to do it, you're quite fast. Anyway, I hit enter and now it says:

nice, if you could copy those files to the server to /home/reddit that'd be awesome
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
