Some awful domain parker yoinked photon.app and i’ll forever hold a grudge against all domain parkers

Seeing so much AI generated content shared to me by my parents, online in reviews, in my curriculum in school, and in comments has taken such a toll on my brain that I can recognize it immediately despite rarely using ChatGPT

That’s an option. You can change the thumbnail alignment to the left, then use compact instead of list mode. OP is using bad settings.

Hi everyone, I’m the dev. Reading all these comments really hurts when it’s something you’ve poured your heart and soul into for over a year.

There’s reasons I do everything I do in this UI, and my primary goal is to make Lemmy accessible for everyone.

This is the “cozy” view as well, but there’s a “compact” view for people like me who enjoy more information density. Again, my end goal is to make Lemmy accessible. I don’t do this for the sidebars for convoluted reasons I won’t get into.

I’m not the one trying to advertise it, and I’ve never really tried to because of the fear of disapproval. I think I should advertise it myself now because then I can showcase the best parts and not get misunderstood. This screenshot uses the “list” view, imo the worst one, with some cursed chrome scrollbars.

Now that I see that the majority of users believe this sucks, I’m not sure if my mission is worth it or if I’m even doing it right.

I’m probably being too sensitive to criticism which I should expect from any project. But this project is the only one I used to feel proud of, then people chiming in claiming it’s the ugliest thing they’ve seen. I don’t know im blind to design which is the only thing I considered myself “good” at in terms of web dev.

If there’s an epic games game you want but don’t want to use the epic launcher or you’re on Linux, Heroic Games launcher id a good choice

That’s a good point, i didn’t consider the value of the content it creates

to play devil’s advocate, from reddit’s view those third party apps were just using server resources and making them no money. Although yeah they could’ve handled it better by implementing different policies

i’m pretty confused why people here understandably hate DRM, monopolies, and billionares, but are fine with steam and Gaben

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 technically has it but you need to use your own libretranslate instance since I’m not paying for that.

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.

Any ideas on a way to make it more intuitive that you can click it?

@[email protected] I’ll update photon soon to increase the size of the text box as you type.

I’ll also tweak parts of the UI to make nested scrolling places more obvious. You can always mention me about this stuff, I want to keep this UI intuitive!

I’ll look into that. Markdown is absolute hell to make work.

Are you using the node server? Is it working well?

How could I fight with the truth? Gonna need a different argument.

i’m tempted to make a stupid feature where it turns into an ace attorney fight after about 15 comments of depth.

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

I contacted them about it.
