Side note, if anyone also misses the Old Reddit style, lemmy.world also has an easy way to do that, just visit: https://old.lemmy.world/
For more info, visit the devs GitHub: mlmym - GitHub
Does old.lemmy.world have a toggle for seeing NSFW posts? I can't seem to find it.
Took a while before we announced it but it was running on photon.lemmy.world for a while already. Love how fast you implemented the changes that were brought up by everyone that was testing. Absolutely amazing job. I think you are the first one to get the admin tools in too!
So where can I donate as a thank you?
I'm a minor and can't set up a donation link legally. Any bug reports are very useful though!
Update: you can now donate here!
if you're getting a 502 on photon.lemmy.world, you can still try Photon at phtn.app
Have been using your app on Desktop. Instantly upgrades the entire Lemmy experience for me. Thanks a lot for building it out.
I love your project so much!
DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!
The fact that the login UI has username, password, and 2FA code all on one screen means this immediately wins. I hate this new trend of "put in your email, now go to another screen, put in your password, now go to another screen...." Ugh. My password manager can autofill more than one box at a time, you know!
I don't know why websites do that, it doesn't look better, is probably more confusing and in general just slower for everyone
It's a small piece of a security gate to slow down bots trying to login
Haven't seen anyone else mention this yet, but this seems to be the only app (installed as PWA) that has mod options. Well done!
Alexandrite (https://a.lemmy.world) has those too
Awesome! For some reason I thought that one was desktop only since last time I tried it, it didn't load well on mobile at all.
Oh yeah actually Alexandrite is not really suited for mobile. The developer is working on improving the mobile experience but it's main focus is desktop.
BIG EDIT: Actually @sheodox@lemmy.world just released an update and it now looks pretty frickin sweet on mobile with a new cards layout.
BIG EDIT
Good call, that does look quite nice.
100x better than previously
I'm getting 502.
This is probably the closest to new reddit we have so far, lots of people won’t use Lemmy because it’s “ugly” so this would be good to recommend
Does it support infinite scrolling?
you could have tried yourself but there is a "Load More" button
Of all the new test UIs, I've enjoyed this one the most so far
Need to add an easy way to open images in full size.
This UI is very good for desktop users , It solves the problem of official UI . it does not makes sense to not show bigger images in posts in official web UI . Thumbnail views are great when you are searching for stuff , not when you want to actively read posts while scrolling.
Ok this is my new main way to access Lemmy on both desktop and mobile. Beautiful job.
*edit: After a little bit of using it, I'll probably stick with it for mobile for a while longer, but I'm going back to the default lemmy GUI for desktop.
This makes distinguishing between nested comments much easier IMO. That's been my biggest gripe with the default UI so major thanks to the dev!
Where can I find full list of installed alternative UIs?
I want to know this too, but here are all the front-ends I know of:
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that we're on a platform supporting so many different frontends?
In the sidebar on the LW main page
Not sure if I like this or Alexandrite better. Both are better than the vanilla Lemmy look.
There's been a lot of lemmy web UIs as of late, but I think this is my favorite so far.
I like that photon doesn’t use the user’s display name in place of just the user name. That’s an annoying twitter-like feature.
It's actually because I forgot to implement it :^
I'll make it an option.
From what I was able to see it looks good on mobile but of course lemmy world went down before I could fully explore it.
Love it. Question: Does Photon not support opening communities link within the web app? When I click on the Photon community link in the post, it takes me to the instance lemmy.xylight.dev page
It does support instance links. It was linked wrong in the post.
Unfortunately this is even worse than the default lemmy UI with even more wasted space on desktop. But hey, more options for people is always nice and hopefully some will like this.
My preference is just the default UI with the compact theme, no wasted space at all! But hey more choice is better, the more UIs we have the merrier 😁
Someone else mentioned old.lemmy.world if you like the old reddit UI. That one is closer to what I want personally.
But yeah, options is great. Just need a way to save a preference now so it will use my preferred UI when logged in. Either that or throw together a redirect plugin.
Okay, now that I can see it, its great! Is there no dark mode though :'(
It does support dark theme, it uses your system theme. Browsers like librewolf will likely force it to light theme for fingerprinting reasons.
