It's weird that I came from designs like this just under a year ago.

The server should group them. If two crossposts are in the same post listing, the server should combine them and add a property in the API to let us know it was combined.

Also, Lemmy has no concept of a "crosspost". All it does to check a "crosspost" is check if they have the same URL.

I'm still working on it. It's not too difficult, I've actually finished compatibility, but I'm implementing the new features to maintain my claim of feature parity.

Your IP seems to have been blacklisted by Cloudflare and it thinks you're a malicious bot. You'd have to get in contact with Cloudflare to get your IP unblocked.

Photon can stay backwards compatible!!! (lemmy.xylight.dev)
 

It looks like v0.19.0 support will keep photon compatible with v0.18.0. I just need to send both query parameter and a header, so that v0.19.0 will accept the header and v0.18.0 will accept the parameter. I thought v0.19.0 would deny the query parameter, returning an error. Thankfully, the Lemmy devs were sane.

It's not actually native, it's a PWA. However you can use a wrapping tool to upload PWAs to the play store.

Unfortunately I don't have much experience in native app development. If I did want to make a native android app, I'd use native components and my app would look like Sync.

I could upload it to the play store though. Also adding it to your home screen should install it as a PWA!

Photon has had a lot of progress made recently. From a new design system to becoming a drop in replacement, changes are made constantly.

This is not everything that has changed, but there's a lot.

I've added the following:

  • password resets
  • verify email routes
  • option to change password when logged in
  • a warning message when your session expires

Photon can now be used as a default UI with (hopefully) no issue!

However, Photon cannot setup a new instance currently. This only works on instances that have already been setup with lemmy-ui, you can swap it out.

v1.15.0 will add a UI to do this.

instance admins, a docker image and setup instructions are available here. It is recommended you set the PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED env var to true to let search engines crawl the site.

Yet another view type has been added: cozy

It is essentially just the card view, but without a background. I quite like it.

  • feat: made images slightly more round
  • feat: add lemmy version to site card
  • upgrade: mono-ui: 0.3.3 -> 0.3.5
  • feat: copy community id to clipboard when clicked
  • feat: only show comment form when you click "create comment"

I've tweaked the colors for light theme quite a lot. I think they look nice. It means I can make the background of buttons white, giving a clear separation.

  • Tweak light theme colors
  • Overhaul community page
  • Add Inter font
    • I kept the default as System UI. You can enable Inter from the settings.
  • Upgrade to Mono v0.3.2

What's new:

  • feat: Add ability to manage federated instances
    • You can even upload a CSV!
  • feat: Add markdown to post titles
    • Since this is a rare occurrence i didn't turn the title input into a markdown editor.
  • feat: Use notification date instead of submission date for inbox
  • feat: Expand images on click
    • I've made this an option since some people might dislike it.

Other stuff I haven't mentioned from previous updates:

  • fix: Subscribed text being cut off
  • change some wording
  • Add a back button and reload comments button to post pages
  • Add error handling to RelativeDate

Thanks for all your support on Photon! I'm still working on localization.

Is it just me or were there more icons to choose from? in c/[email protected]

[video] this happens in my dreams all the time (backend.xylight.dev)
 

Alt textIn a video game, a massive ball is rolling towards the player on a bridge, so the player steps off of its trajectory. Shortly after passing the player, the ball abruptly stops. A second later, the ball starts rolling towards the player, knocking them off the bridge.
