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
Too much text. I much prefer a compact view so I can easily scroll past posts that are irrelevant to me
Thanks a ton for hosting this!
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
if you’re getting a 502 on photon.lemmy.world, you can still try Photon at phtn.app
UI is nice, but can we please have keyboard navigation in one of these?
nice!
DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!
existential crisis in progress
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
Liking Photon. There are some good QoL improvements over the default UI, such as easy access to changing the theme.
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?
There’s been a lot of lemmy web UIs as of late, but I think this is my favorite so far.
