Which UI Should Be the Default? (forum.guncadindex.com)
submitted 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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.

Personally i think guncadindex and fosscad.io should use mlmym for lemmy to really bring back that reddit like ui without the reddit bullshit.

+1 for mlmym, can't beat that classic reddit look. If possible, set mlmym as the default for desktop browsers and photon for mobile browsers
