Photon UI trial (slrpnk.net)

You can now test the alternative Photon UI for Lemmy on:

https://photon.slrpnk.net

It's one of the few alternative UIs for Lemmy that includes moderation features, so that makes it interesting as a replacement for the default Lemmy-UI.

Right now it is still early days and Photon is very actively developed, so don't expect a perfectly polished experience. Once it stabilizes, there is a chance we will switch over to it as the main UI for Slrpnk though, as the current official Lemmy-UI is not very actively maintained any more with the main developer working on a re-write.

Update: Linked in the sidebar now. Will probably take a few more weeks/months before it can be used as a full replacement of the lemmy-ui though. Looking very nice overall though.

I've been using your Photon link as a local browser for slrpnk.net when I'm sitting at the desktop (so I can test it out).

It's my choice out of the 2 (photon/alexandrite) but that doesn't take away from alex, choice is the spice of life. I do like old for the nostalgia but being able to read into the posts a little bit on photon is a bonus.

If @[email protected] is still into developing then all the better. Some of my apps that I was trialling have gone dead, same as our instance, same as my love for posting news so if Xylight is keen, good on them! Keep it up!

Do I understand the changelog correctly that you added an automatic login cookie migration for using Photon as a drop-in replacement for Lemmy-ui recently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yea if you're logged in to lemmy-ui and then photon is put on the domain of lemmy-ui then it will see the leftover cookie and create a photon account

you have to enable it manually, though
