We added an extra UI for our users. Photon by Xylight is an interface with a sleek, modern look and has all the bells and whistles you would need. Moderator tools included! You can access the UI from https://photon.lemmy.world.
Visit Photon’s project page on github or get in touch with the developer in the !photon@lemmy.xylight.dev community. If you want to use photon on other instances you can do so from https://phtn.app.
Update: @Xylight has set up a donation link so if you like photon as much as I do, show him some love! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xylight
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.
Both Photon and old.lemmy are missing that and the hide scores setting. They’re both better but I’m disappointed they don’t seem to have feature parity with the default UI at minimum.
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!
Minors can have cash app accounts legally as long as you have an adult’s account approve it
That donation money would still need to end up in a bank account to be usable in a convenient way IMO, since bitcoin ATMs are a very rare occurrence.
I can’t see how a crypto wallet would help otherwise, unless i’m missing something?
if you’re getting a 502 on photon.lemmy.world, you can still try Photon at phtn.app
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
Its probably also more difficult to program the functionality into multiple pages as well.
Maybe I’m confusing instances but I was almost positive they all have all those on the main screen?
DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!
