Xylight (Photon Dev)

I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.

If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it’s an account wide setting.

Photon seems to have a semantic layout that firefox detects as settable into reader mode.

Why not?

Photon is available for any instance at https://phtn.app.

Alexandrite is available for any instance at https://alexandrite.app.

I don’t like when instances will host photon for anything other than the default interface, as then it’s just a more limited, outdated version of photon and another point of failure.

I dont know if youtube has h264 support

It could be that it’s playing in a codec that your mobile browser doesn’t support like av1 or something. Not sure though, is this happening with every video?

Can it auto detect when a website supports dark theme? Otherwise I noticed that it will ruin the colors of sites already in dark theme

Wow, the new FCC law made comcast raise my generous 10Mbps upload to 25Mbps! It’s $80/mo for this shit.

Other instances have updated just fine, the most common issue being nginx header buffers being too low.

I contacted them about it.

hello fellow client dev

I don’t understand what this means. There are no redirect calls at all in photon other than for /comment urls, and certain layouts.

You have not seen some photon instances lol. lemdro.id’s admins have been really busy, so I don’t blame them for anything. they’ve also been early supporters from the start of photon.

Here’s a list of ancient photon instances i’ve seen:

reddthat

lemy.lol (so old that it literally crashes on load)

programming.dev

lemmings.world

I really dislike when people host photon on their own stuff, and I prefer people use phtn.app. There’s greater chance for error and old versions can give people a negative view of the client.

Hey, I’m the Photon dev. I’d like to know which parts Photon incorrectly displayed, so far I only see tables rendering incorrectly. I’ll have this fixed soon.

Update: fixed table displays, pushed to main

Could this be updated now? 🥺 (you can test here)

I don’t really see many benefits of this since it seems to take the same space as a normal laptop

Hey, I’m the dev. I fixed this recently

They added that too!

I regret checking this

Lemmy’s “active” sort involves recent comments AFAIK, so if you’re sorting by that you should see megathreads.

Great photo! Where was this taken?
