You can now test the alternative Photon UI for Lemmy on:

https://photon.slrpnk.net

It’s one of the few alternative UIs for Lemmy that includes moderation features, so that makes it interesting as a replacement for the default Lemmy-UI.

Right now it is still early days and Photon is very actively developed, so don’t expect a perfectly polished experience. Once it stabilizes, there is a chance we will switch over to it as the main UI for Slrpnk though, as the current official Lemmy-UI is not very actively maintained any more with the main developer working on a re-write.

Update: Linked in the sidebar now. Will probably take a few more weeks/months before it can be used as a full replacement of the lemmy-ui though. Looking very nice overall though.

    Thank you so much! I’ve been using Photon for a while and was even wondering to ask if there are any plan to host it! Thanks for reading my mind 😅

    Photon dev creates new releases almost every day though, how often this instance will be updated?

    Also it would be good to have this link in instance description.

      I am still testing it, but I configured it to auto-update the container, so it should check for new versions on a daily basis.
