Which UI Should Be the Default? (forum.guncadindex.com)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) by TheShittinator@forum.guncadindex.com to c/guncadindex@forum.guncadindex.com

Running a poll for this on birdsite: https://x.com/theshittinator/status/1997182340561265031

The TL;DR: We have two UIs:

  1. https://forum.guncadindex.com/ - Lemmy-UI. This is the default UI that ships with Lemmy with a custom theme slapped on top of it.

  2. https://p.forum.guncadindex.com/ - Photon. This UI is slick, but it's missing a couple admin features (which isn't a big deal) and had a bug when we first deployed it where new user signups would erroneously get a "token validation error" or something. I don't know if they've fixed it.

The question I want you guys to answer is: Which do you prefer? I assume most people think Photon is slicker, but I could be mistaken.

If most people like Photon, I might give it a shot in the limelight again to see if they've fixed that bug yet.

Photon. But the search is better in LemmyUI

Like the interface is better or you get more relevant results?

Search in the Photon do not allow to limit search by community/instance.
