Celeste absolutely! It's difficult but it's really really fun and has a great story. If you ever get super invested, the community is great and the skill ceiling is so high that you can always get better when playing new maps.
502 from photon itself or nginx? I think you need to change photon at the top to lemmy-ui
Irrelevant but the embed thumbnail terrifies me. why is the android fuzzy
I used to ask these a lot during Photon's early development, but I decided to do one now.
Are there any major features you'd like added or issues you'd want fixed?
I'd say the biggest criticism is that it's the largest instance, and is also a "general purpose" instance, which sort of takes away from the main goal of the fediverse. When 90% of content comes from one instance, it opposes the goal of decentralization.
I chose lemdro.id because it's nice and fast, the admins are very good, and its main topic is around technology/software which I like
Don't want to wait? Get Firefox.
Saw people on slrpnk.net were looking for a photon theme so I decided to make one. I'm not necessarily expecting this to be used at slrpnk.net, but I like the theme so I'll be using it. It has a nice light theme too.
It's pretty similar to a recent post for a "wintergreen" theme, this one is less saturated.

It is not weird. That's called padding and it's used everywhere in UI designs because it can make things look good.
I was looking for alternatives but I didn't find any good ones. This looks nice, thanks!
Even if you don't use Photon and have only heard of it, your answers can be useful for some questions!

I'd like to learn about the community that uses Photon, so I've decided to make a survey! You can answer it if you like. In about a week I'll collect the responses and see if anything's interesting, and then I'll make a post showing any discoveries.
The survey just has a few questions about demographics, Lemmy usage, and knowledge of Photon's features.
As a minor living in an anti-vaccine family, having caught COVID thrice, oh no.
this security issue can only be triggered by users fault, but it's up to the UI designer to prevent user mistakes causing potential credential leaks.
The login page
The login page is designed to be as simple as possible. Only 1 page, no extra steps. It'll validate whatever instance url you type in to ensure it's actually a Lemmy instance.
The problem
If the user mistypes the instance url to a typo squatting instance, your credentials were just sent straight to them. Bad. For example, I could setup an instance named lemmu.world, and if someone accidentally mistypes lemmy.world as that, I get their credentials for free.
Potential solutions
I'm not sure which one would be best as they all have problems.
- Require you to type the instance before you can start typing your credentials.
- This complicates things and adds an extra step. This also wouldn't completely solve the problem.
- Add an auto complete list
- This will work for popular instances as they'll know that they have the wrong url because it disappeared from the auto complete. However, I'd need to keep this list updated and id prefer photon to have minimal external ties. This also wouldn't work for small instances.
- Add typo checking
- This has the same problem as above as I'd need to keep common misspellings updated and I want photon to have minimal external ties.
Any ideas? For now, this isn't a problem as long as you double check the instance you're logging in with, and there's no cases of this AFAIK.

Sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide you with a bedtime story as it is a potentially dangerous activity that could lead to nightmares.

Web dev: What browser is visiting the page?
User agent string:
A screenshot of a browser. The URL bar reads firefox://settings, a button on the URL bar is labelled Netscape, a popup from the button reads: "You're viewing a secure Opera page", and the web page title reads "Chrome settings".
I don't think instances should necessarily all defederate. Now that instance blocking is a thing, the choice should be left to the user.
Padding is a very versatile thing in UI design, and none of it will make anything look terrible.
Even in your first example, the toolbar has slight padding on the edges and so do the buttons.
The reason there's more padding now is because it makes it easier for new users to process everything.
As a web dev, screw safari. Apple just randomly decides to not follow web standards some time so I spend tons of time debugging random safari issues that I CANT EVEN TEST MYSELF because I don't pay for apple products
I haven't gotten it yet. I notice that google will release anything they announce months after. It took ages for the editing feature to finally appear in google messages for me.
Google UI devs will do anything but follow their own material guidelines
Just a tip, you can make those iamge links display inline by doing this:
TL;DR
Vercel has been a PITA for a few reasons I won't go into, and I eventually reached a usage limit that made the site unusuable. Cloudflare pages has no usage limits, so I have switched to that. Nothing different should be noticable, except that initial loads might be slightly faster.
if you don't like cloudflare
I understand lots of people dislike cloudflare, so if you want to get away from it, here are some publicly hosted instances:
| Instance | Location | Contact | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | phtn.app (Official) | 🇺🇸 US West | photon@xylight.dev | | photon.thesanewriter.com | 🇺🇸 US East | thesanewriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com | | p.darrennathanael.com | 🇮🇩 ID West | noc@darrennathanael.com | |zhenyapav@zhenyapav.com |admin@buckodr.ink | | phtn.ngn.tf | 🇹🇷 Turkey | services@ngn.tf | | lm.sudovanilla.org | 🇺🇸 US East | hello@sudovanilla.org (behind 1 version) |
You can also selfhost it if you'd like.
sh git clone https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon cd photon npm install && ADAPTER=node npm run build node ./build/index.js
On phtn.app I can give all translators of Photon a badge, here's how it looks on @Blisterexe@lemmy.zip (the French translator!)
If you want this and you translated the app, just add a comment and I'll try to verify your contributions. Then I'll add it to phtn.app. I can add and remove this at any time, and this will only appear on phtn.app.
To get the badge, you must have
- Validly translated at least 30 strings of any language (other than English)
- Proof that you are the contributor on weblate (using the same username on both should be enough)
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:

I'm new to this stuff so go easy on me.
So I want to get into selfhosting, and I've decided to get a Raspberry Pi 5. I plan to attach drives to it, from about 500GB-1TB. I'm on a budget, preferably under $100.
I want to host these things:
- A personal lemmy instance
- A samba server, to store files and backups
- A mail server
- A few other light docker containers
I was wondering whether I should get an SSD or an HDD for these. Lemmy would probably like an SSD because it uses Postgres, but an HDD would be better for storage since I get more GB per dollar.
What should I go with?
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.
Photon has been fully localized and you can translate it to your native language now! (will not be released until v1.30)
You can help translate at the Weblate
If you need help, you can join Photon Translators Matrix room.
Ask for as many clarifications as you need.
Requirements
- Be fluent in the language you're translating to.
- No Google translate or other translation tools, as they are often inaccurate without context.
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.

New stuff
- Revert the positions of most navigation buttons (Home on left, profile on right)
- Add "adaptive" options to dock settings
- This will make the dock's position (top, bottom, floating or not) change based on your screen size (it is now the default)
- So on mobile, you'll have a bottom, floating dock but on desktop a top panel
Fixes
- Add autofocus to search bar #319
- Don't hide titles on iframes #317
- Add refresh button to inbox page #313
- Dock covers sidebars as a top panel
- Add maxlength to password form #312
Update: Photon v1.29.4 has addressed these concerns. Let me know what you think here
It seems the navigation is widely disliked by many people. I want Photon to be the most intuitive UI, so I'd like to fix this. Which of these should I do?
A - Revert the positions of the items on the navigation bar (Profile on right, home on left)
B - Have the default navigation be top on desktop
C - Move some things out of the profile menu into the navbar.
D - Revert the navbar entirely
Or give any other ideas you have. These changes were pushed early because I did not see any pushback early in the betas.
My only fear is that changing it back yet again will have ruined the muscle memory for both types of navigation.
I'll be releasing some betas soon to adjust navigation and take in more feedback before committing.
What's Changed
- Redesign navigation
- If you dislike the change, go to settings and press "Legacy Navigation Style". This will make the navigation similar to before
- You can see 5 of the most recent posts and communities for quick access.
- Use your accent color in more places
- You can change your accent colors in the theme menu.
- Improve design consistency
- New font option
- Change animation curves to be more bouncy
- Add option to make featured posts more compact
- Remove hooks.server.ts to make requests faster
