We added an extra UI for our users. Photon by Xylight is an interface with a sleek, modern look and has all the bells and whistles you would need. Moderator tools included! You can access the UI from https://photon.lemmy.world.

Visit Photon's project page on github or get in touch with the developer in the [email protected] community. If you want to use photon on other instances you can do so from https://phtn.app.

Update: @Xylight has set up a donation link so if you like photon as much as I do, show him some love! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xylight

Okay, now that I can see it, its great! Is there no dark mode though :'(

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does support dark theme, it uses your system theme. Browsers like librewolf will likely force it to light theme for fingerprinting reasons.

That's lame.

I use "light" theme at the system level, but I like to set some sites to dark. And I especially like to manually toggle between them as I feel like it.

This is a deal breaker for me 🥲

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sure that it will be an option. For now you can force build-in dark mode with this extension

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will add a toggle soon

Update: Manual dark toggle added in v0.5.7!

I can't find any donation links, how can I donate to the work of Photon!? I love it and plan to only use it, when I get the time I plan to launch my own instance with it too.

GOLD, great work!

I'm a minor and can't setup a donation link legally. You can support me by reporting bugs and sharing Photon though!
