you should know - photon selfhosted lemmy client is absolutely nice.
You can login from multiple acounts on differnet instances and effortlessly switch between them.
UI is just so much nicer than default lemmy UI.

you can run it in docker, or just use this instance: https://phtn.app/

Does it come with a secret blocklist?

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

I do t want it unless it comes with a secret block list

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

and I have to be on the blocklist.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

I'd be fine if I'd be the only one on it, but that's crucial.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 9 points 8 hours ago

Ai disclosure?

You should as a rule read community rules before posting your projects.

Your missing the disclosure in your title

[-] Badabinski@kbin.earth 5 points 8 hours ago

Only possible AI thing I see is .zed in the .gitignore, but that's not an indicator of LLM usage. Plenty of people use zed with all AI features disabled.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 7 points 11 hours ago

No obvious AI use in the github repo. So probably CBH, but better to get confirmation from @sanitation@lemmy.today .

[-] sanitation@lemmy.today 5 points 10 hours ago

Not my project I don't know. But lemmy world recommends it so I presume it's all kosher

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago

understandable, but this community requires posts promoting projects that use AI to be tagged.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 10 points 8 hours ago

Its required for self promotion, there is no way for a third party to know the details to tag and disclose.

It would be like posting plex feature updates. There is no way for the poster to know whether or not any AI was used in development (though given the Plex trajectory, we all know, but thats a different matter).

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

so I could create slop and then promote it from an alt and it would be fine?

what's the point in having tags in the first place?

[-] tom@lemmy.tomkoreny.com 3 points 5 hours ago

No, that would still be breaking the rules as that's your alt :)

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 3 points 6 hours ago

If you waited long enough to get past the account duration requirement and it was open source, where people could evaluate and comment on what they see, yes.

If it were paid/closed source, then no, not without using that alt constantly to meet the requirements.

The point in the first place was the large influx in promo postings that were made, as well as create filterable tags for users who are or are not interested in seeing AIT or AIP. It also means for those who create an AI involved project, no matter the level, aren't being bombarded with low effort, one word disparaging comments.

If you have another idea, or some way you believe a third person can have any realistic insight to provide a disclosure, you are welcome to create a meta discussion on it as there were for rules 7 & 8 already.

Oh it's not my project. I don't know. But lemmy world uses it

[-] mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com -4 points 5 hours ago

AGPL-3. 0. Meh.

[-] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Huh? You don't like strong copyleft licences?

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 3 points 10 hours ago

I love photon, I replaced the default UI with it on my instance
