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 [email protected] 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
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 great! :))
nice!
Liking Photon. There are some good QoL improvements over the default UI, such as easy access to changing the theme.
UI is nice, but can we please have keyboard navigation in one of these?
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
It does support instance links. It was linked wrong in the post.
Need to add an easy way to open images in full size.
Okay, now that I can see it, its great! Is there no dark mode though :'(
It does support dark theme, it uses your system theme. Browsers like librewolf will likely force it to light theme for fingerprinting reasons.

Update: Manual dark toggle added in v0.5.7!
I can’t find any donation links, how can I donate to the work of Photon!? I love it and plan to only use it, when I get the time I plan to launch my own instance with it too.
I’m a minor and can’t setup a donation link legally. You can support me by reporting bugs and sharing Photon though!
Update: You can now donate here
GOLD, great work!
Ooooh, this looks great!! Especially on mobile too! Thank you so much!!
DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!
Does it support infinite scrolling?
you could have tried yourself but there is a “Load More” button
Unfortunately no due to an issue with sveltekit’s router :/
i might make this an SPA soon which will support infinite scrolling though.
Please keep the paged view as an option though. Helps me keep up with where I was
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
and if people (like me) want old reddit, mlmym exists. nice for people to have options
is that a bad thing?
Not at all
if you’re getting a 502 on photon.lemmy.world, you can still try Photon at phtn.app
I love your project so much!
From what I was able to see it looks good on mobile but of course lemmy world went down before I could fully explore it.
Haven’t seen anyone else mention this yet, but this seems to be the only app (installed as PWA) that has mod options. Well done!
