Alternative UI: Photon (photon.lemmy.world)

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 !photon@lemmy.xylight.dev 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

This is probably the closest to new reddit we have so far, lots of people won’t use Lemmy because it’s β€œugly” so this would be good to recommend

I mean, even with RES, I'd argue that Reddit is also kinda ugly

Most people use new reddit and have gotten used to social media sites prioritizing looks over functionality

[–] svt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I like new reddit because of big pics and videos. Don’t have time for clicking every post. I’m here for scroll and giggles.

and if people (like me) want old reddit, mlmym exists. nice for people to have options

[–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think the only thing I find "ugly" about the default Lemmy UI is the green buttons and inconsistent border radii on them. Everything else looks rather decent and very functional.

is that a bad thing?
