You can access Photon at https://phtn.app/ to use any instance, or selfhost.

Additionally, some instances I'd recommend that use photon are

  • lemdro.id (which uses it as their primary!)
  • p.lemmy.world
  • photon.slrpnk.net

I'm curious why your instance, sh.itjust.works, hosts Tesseract but not Photon. They have diverged so much they cannot be considered similar.

Which Lemmy instances use Photon? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It was forked around a year or more back I believe. They are completely different projects now imo. Photon aims for the best UX and speed, while Tesseract aims to be super feature-rich.

I believe this is a form of the phenomenon Papyrus Irony

Piefed support? in c/photon@lemdro.id
[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

I really want to rewrite my API code to make it server agnostic, so I can support many fediverse platforms at once. If I add Piefed support the quick way, there'll basically be a bunch of checks saying "if server = Piefed, hide this button".

I could do it the quick and dirty way right now if that's what people want.

edit: quick and dirty method will take less than a week, proper method will take months

Photon v1.28.0 - Themes! (lemdro.id)
 

v1.28.0

  • Add custom theme support
    • Access from the settings page or clicking "Color scheme" in main menu
    • Instance themes are coming later
  • add pasting images directly into comments
  • fix sidebar collapsing stuff

Try a theme

To import/make a theme, go to settings > theming. You can also click "color scheme" in the main menu.

I made a catppuccin theme for photon. Import this:

{"zinc":{"50":"#cdd6f4","100":"#bac2de","200":"#a6adc8","300":"#9399b2","400":"#7f849c","500":"#6c7086","600":"#585b70","700":"#45475a","800":"#313244","900":"#1e1e2e","925":"#181825","950":"#11111b"},"primary":{"100":"#a6e3a1","900":"#7287fd"},"other":{"white":"#ffffff"},"slate":{}}

and voila! This theme only changes dark mode colors right now.

The Photon community has moved from lemmy.xylight.dev to lemdro.id, because it's getting difficult to have to keep my old instance online.

All updates and questions should go here from now on!
