Alternative UI: Photon
Alternative UI: Photon
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

Unfortunately this is even worse than the default lemmy UI with even more wasted space on desktop. But hey, more options for people is always nice and hopefully some will like this.
My preference is just the default UI with the compact theme, no wasted space at all! But hey more choice is better, the more UIs we have the merrier ๐
Someone else mentioned old.lemmy.world if you like the old reddit UI. That one is closer to what I want personally.
But yeah, options is great. Just need a way to save a preference now so it will use my preferred UI when logged in. Either that or throw together a redirect plugin.
I love the nostalgia of old.reddit as well, but alexandrite.app / a.lemmy.world is a more modern compact desktop interface that I've come to like and use as my default front end now.
If you prefer compact designs, you'd probably like mlmym
I do and it's already available at https://old.lemmy.world for anyone who prefers it.
I am using it now with my local instance. It's a godsend!
