Just wanna stop and say open source is cool, neat to see what instances have what interfaces :)

If you like Photon, you might like Tesseract. It's a Photon fork.

[Tesseract is] a Photon fork.

TIL that Tesseract is a Photon Fork. Would you know, by chance, at what point in Photon's development it was forked to form Tesseract, and what the rationale was?

I think @[email protected] might answer. If I’m not mistaking they are the main dev.

It's default on lemdro.id, suppo.fi and fedit.pl

Isn't there a universal interface for photon on any instance? I tried using them at some point but neither is compatible with my networking practices. In only use Alexandrite.

You can go to https://phtn.app/ and proxy login to any Lemmy instance. But admins can also self-host Photon on their domain, like https://p.lemmy.world/.

That comment from elsewhere in this thread explains you can use it on any instance.

Hi, feddit.nl does, they have multiple alternative frontends. Btw, you can just log into photon with any account.

You can log into any Lemmy instance from any Photon instance.
