Generally a result of decentralization is that subjectively bad instances can arise, but the entire point of decentralization is that they can exist. I don't consider it a weak point.
Part of Gen Z and almost all the people my age I know are heavily conservative. It's pretty isolating.
If I unironically monetize photon in any other way than donations, shoot me.
i added that tier after you sent this to me
the cat and their invaders are taking over Photon. i will fight back.
Photon Premium™️ members will receive more incredible revolutionary unprecedented amazing features soon©️ on April 1st
marking an inbox item as read just does $notifications.inbox--, but the number only updates every 5 minutes, so when you go to an inbox with unread items before it updates, and mark one as read, it does this
i could easily fix it but i always forget right as i open the editor
I did. In the long run it's better for me to write my own since it's easier to update and debug
I'm definitely gonna have to write my own virtualizer. I tried using Tanstack Virtual but it definitely has too many issues with my setup to work well.
I've been busy and haven't worked on photon for a bit, but i'll make sure to fix all these before merging v2
Amazingly, Photon and Alexandrite started on the same day, June 24.

If you dislike the new default colors, just go to theme settings and select "photon classic"
This new update allows instance admins to set their own themes (via PUBLIC_THEME) and allows you to have multiple theme presets.
It's available on phtn.app right now, coming soon to a release
I like these colors, as it gives a bit more personality than neutral gray.
But what do you think? If I did make this the default dark theme, I would add presets to the theme page including a "classic" preset.
If you'd like to use this theme right now, here:

One year ago, on June 24, 2023, I saw the migration to Lemmy. I wanted to make something like libreddit, so I decided to mess with Lemmy's API. Lemmy became something I wanted to use daily, so I got to work, and I made the first commit:
I started with something that reused components from another project of mine, Imagi. It looked awful and had no features. But, some people actually started using it, and I was motivated to continue this.
After about a month 0.0.1 was released, with very basic features.
This is great on OLED screens, the background is true black and darker colors are used in many spots. Orange is the accent color to not burn your eyes with blue light, but you can change it.

We're thrilled to unveil a significant redesign of Photon, the user interface for the fediverse! Since its inception, Photon has strived to make the fediverse more accessible with a user-friendly design.
Mono-Light addresses a key request from our community: increased information density. This redesign allows you to view more content at a glance, streamlining your fediverse experience.
Here's a glance at our new design:
As you can see, every UI element has been streamlined while still remaining beautiful. You can see so much more at once, with no sacrifice to usability. Got fat fingers? just cut a bit of it off.
You can expect this new design to roll out by the end of today, April 1st.
...
No offense to the mlmym devs. Photon users want a clean UI, while mlmym users want an information dense, old reddit like UI.
Jokes aside, I'm excited to see where this project goes.
