Some selfhosters with PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED set to true might want the instance url to be different for the server.

I'm assuming that SSR is Server Side Rendering but I'm not sure how that applies to me, a self-hoster. Do I want to turn this on?

Then how does the internal setting play into it?

Thanks :)

Can you make an android app

Anytime I try to upload images using Photon (desktop), I get this error. Any idea what it means and why this is happening?

Try it out at https://photon-git-themes-xylight.vercel.app/settings/theme

coming soon (if i dont give up on this)

you can make cursed abominations like this

• fix: main content is off center by a few pixels
• feat: show community card in the sidebar
  • Found a decent way to do this!
• feat: improve community page performance
  • I removed a few unnecessary requests
• feat: specify admin additions and removals in modlog
• feat: filter by user in modlog
• feat: (for admins) filter by moderator in modlog

I don't know if this is possible, or maybe there is some reason that the right sidebar only shows the info about lemmy world? I would much prefer to see info from the community i'm visiting, instead of needing to click on the three dots at the top. Speaking about the three dots; in a sidebar with community info, the info to subscribe, create a post or block could be listed there as well. I personally do not really care for those three dots. If that lemmy world bar has to be there for some reason; maybe it can then be shared with community info? That you see the community, but if you scroll down, you still see the lemmy world information?

Btw, don't get me wrong; i really like Photon and it is what i almost always use.

You can now automatically generate a title from a URL! Click the book icon after entering a URL to pull the embed title and body from that webpage!

You can automatically generate a post title and body from a URL. Click the book icon after entering a valid URL to fetch data from that website!

A lot of changes have been made recently, unfortunately some of my posts weren't federated to other instances correctly :/

That's been fixed now, though.

Anyway, here's the changes:

• fix: failing image uploads
• feat: add embed support
• feat: add support for unproxied image uploads (available in lemmy v0.19.0 instances)

I've seen a few people complain about this (which if you dislike something about an app, make feedback!)

I've been thinking this too, but got used to it. The default tailwind colors are here. Photon, for the site background in dark theme, uses zinc at level 950. 900 is too light, should I change the background color to something in between?

• feat: new, centered layout

  • all of the posts are in the center rather than the center of the right of the screen!
    • If that sounded confusing, that's what I tried to fix :p
  • community things were moved from a sidebar to a ... button

• fix: Lemmy v0.19.0 dates were broken

I'm still wondering what i should put on the right of the layout. Let me know of any ideas!

If you have any suggestions, even minor, let me know in a comment.

What if I put in here a link then thenboldanditalisizeit) and

Photon is one of the "hot" apps on lemmyapps.netlify.app! Just thought it was cool and wanted to share

Becoming a member would support this amazing dev. 1$ a month is enough if enough people become a member. Go support this person as much as possible! You are doing gods work Xylight!

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.

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.

IDK i just feel like it looks so clean and visible on desktop. What do you think?
