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.

Man, its hard to accept I used to interact with content like that
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?
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!
Maybe I’m confusing instances but I was almost positive they all have all those on the main screen?
Not 2fa code. The Lemmy apps have all of those on the sign up page, and so do alternative UIs
DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!
existential crisis in progress
I’m getting 502.
Same here

Me too

Of all the new test UIs, I’ve enjoyed this one the most so far
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!
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.
Does it support infinite scrolling?
you could have tried yourself but there is a “Load More” button
Need to add an easy way to open images in full size.
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.
Looks fantastic, thanks to the dev for their great work on this!
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
Okay, now that I can see it, its great! Is there no dark mode though :'(

Looks great! Wonder is there a way to reduce the size of the sidebar? It takes up a huge amount of the space on web (while still keeping the names visible, the minimized view with icons isn’t super helpful)
