I am the developer of the Photon client. Try it out
Photon is available for any instance at https://phtn.app.
Alexandrite is available for any instance at https://alexandrite.app.
I don’t like when instances will host photon for anything other than the default interface, as then it’s just a more limited, outdated version of photon and another point of failure.
Other instances have updated just fine, the most common issue being nginx header buffers being too low.
I contacted them about it.
hello fellow client dev
I don’t understand what this means. There are no redirect calls at all in photon other than for /comment urls, and certain layouts.
You have not seen some photon instances lol. lemdro.id’s admins have been really busy, so I don’t blame them for anything. they’ve also been early supporters from the start of photon.
Here’s a list of ancient photon instances i’ve seen:
lemy.lol (so old that it literally crashes on load)
I really dislike when people host photon on their own stuff, and I prefer people use phtn.app. There’s greater chance for error and old versions can give people a negative view of the client.
Hey, I’m the Photon dev. I’d like to know which parts Photon incorrectly displayed, so far I only see tables rendering incorrectly. I’ll have this fixed soon.
Update: fixed table displays, pushed to main
Could this be updated now? 🥺 (you can test here)
I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.
If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it’s an account wide setting.
