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

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

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!

I'll probably go with this. Thanks!

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.

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.

Photon Announces Revamped Design

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.

I don't really like Nord themes so I won't personally use this but here you go:

{"other":{},"primary":{"100":"#8fbcbb","900":"#5e81ac"},"zinc":{"50":"#eceff4","100":"#e5e9f0","200":"#d8dee9","400":"#d8dee9","500":"#e5e9f0","700":"#4f586a","800":"#4c566a","900":"#434c5e","925":"#3b4252","950":"#2e3440"},"slate":{"25":"#eceff4","50":"#e5e9f0","100":"#d8dee9","200":"#d8dee9"}}
 

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.

This theme only works in dark theme for now

Theme (importable in Photon v1.28.0+)

{"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":{}}
 

This was mostly a bug fix and polish update

  • Migrate to Sveltekit 2
  • Improve post vote hitboxes
  • Add a loading spinner for photon instances where SSR is off
  • and more!
