Does old.lemmy.world have a toggle for seeing NSFW posts? I can't seem to find it.

Took a while before we announced it but it was running on photon.lemmy.world for a while already. Love how fast you implemented the changes that were brought up by everyone that was testing. Absolutely amazing job. I think you are the first one to get the admin tools in too!
So where can I donate as a thank you?
I'm a minor and can't set up a donation link legally. Any bug reports are very useful though!
Update: you can now donate here!

if you're getting a 502 on photon.lemmy.world, you can still try Photon at phtn.app
Have been using your app on Desktop. Instantly upgrades the entire Lemmy experience for me. Thanks a lot for building it out.
I love your project so much!
The fact that the login UI has username, password, and 2FA code all on one screen means this immediately wins. I hate this new trend of "put in your email, now go to another screen, put in your password, now go to another screen...." Ugh. My password manager can autofill more than one box at a time, you know!
I don't know why websites do that, it doesn't look better, is probably more confusing and in general just slower for everyone
It's a small piece of a security gate to slow down bots trying to login

DAAYYYUUUMMM. That is stunning! Lemmy should make this theme the default across the verse!

I'm getting 502.
Haven't seen anyone else mention this yet, but this seems to be the only app (installed as PWA) that has mod options. Well done!
Alexandrite (https://a.lemmy.world) has those too
Awesome! For some reason I thought that one was desktop only since last time I tried it, it didn't load well on mobile at all.
Oh yeah actually Alexandrite is not really suited for mobile. The developer is working on improving the mobile experience but it's main focus is desktop.
BIG EDIT: Actually @sheodox@lemmy.world just released an update and it now looks pretty frickin sweet on mobile with a new cards layout.
BIG EDIT
Good call, that does look quite nice.
100x better than previously

This is probably the closest to new reddit we have so far, lots of people wonβt use Lemmy because itβs βuglyβ so this would be good to recommend

Of all the new test UIs, I've enjoyed this one the most so far
This UI is very good for desktop users , It solves the problem of official UI . it does not makes sense to not show bigger images in posts in official web UI . Thumbnail views are great when you are searching for stuff , not when you want to actively read posts while scrolling.
This makes distinguishing between nested comments much easier IMO. That's been my biggest gripe with the default UI so major thanks to the dev!
Need to add an easy way to open images in full size.
Does it support infinite scrolling?
you could have tried yourself but there is a "Load More" button

Ok this is my new main way to access Lemmy on both desktop and mobile. Beautiful job.
*edit: After a little bit of using it, I'll probably stick with it for mobile for a while longer, but I'm going back to the default lemmy GUI for desktop.
Where can I find full list of installed alternative UIs?
I want to know this too, but here are all the front-ends I know of:
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that we're on a platform supporting so many different frontends?
In the sidebar on the LW main page
There's been a lot of lemmy web UIs as of late, but I think this is my favorite so far.
Looks fantastic, thanks to the dev for their great work on this!
Very nice. I've been using the various apps but so far nothing has really stuck so I'll probably just stay with the web version.
Looks great! Wonder is there a way to reduce the size of the sidebar? It takes up a huge amount of the space on web (while still keeping the names visible, the minimized view with icons isn't super helpful)

Love it. Question: Does Photon not support opening communities link within the web app? When I click on the Photon community link in the post, it takes me to the instance lemmy.xylight.dev page
It does support instance links. It was linked wrong in the post.
From what I was able to see it looks good on mobile but of course lemmy world went down before I could fully explore it.
I like that photon doesnβt use the userβs display name in place of just the user name. Thatβs an annoying twitter-like feature.
It's actually because I forgot to implement it :^
I'll make it an option.
Not sure if I like this or Alexandrite better. Both are better than the vanilla Lemmy look.
Okay, now that I can see it, its great! Is there no dark mode though :'(
It does support dark theme, it uses your system theme. Browsers like librewolf will likely force it to light theme for fingerprinting reasons.
