If I'm viewing eg. This post: https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/57383020

And I click share, then this is the link I get https://lemmy.kde.social/post/3025106 or https://lemm.ee/post/57383020

It would be better to get a Photon link (https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/57383020), that keeps the UI the same and gives a smoother experience.

If I share the other links with my friends, they don't see the Photon UI

Anyone else running into this issue?

I was seeing downvotes of hundreds of thousands and in some case even millions. But that's not the case when I log in from the standard Lemmy UI. (See left of picture) Also, tens of thousands of dollars are being solicited from the app (see right) Finally, some odd spam posts appear only via this app (middle right).

I don't know if this app is abandoned, but to the users: be warned. I've switched to alexandrite.app out of safety concerns.

Hey,

if you are a fan of shareable instance agnostic Lemmy links and Photon UI you can now use lemsha.re for shareable links with built-in photon support.

Why? Because I love the interface and use it daily.

Upon going back to the feed page from a post page, the feed tends to load in at a different point (higher up) than where it was before. This results in a lot of repetitive scrolling.

Also, I noticed that (when new content is being loaded in?) the scrolling gets stuck in the same spot. Scrolling kind of just glitches on the same spot until it gets past it and then resumes as normal.

Hey, I noticed that the expand/collapse button tends to block text sometimes. Is there any way that it could be made transparent when hovering the mouse over it? Also, the hover text should say 'collapse' when the text has already been expanded.

Hey 👋

Just started self-hosting photon app a few days ago and am very interested in your experiences?

Running on v2.0.0-rc.4 and just love the UX in comparison to lemmy native. I am experiencing some issues though. Nothing too major. Some issues might be due to me being inexperienced self-hosting. Also don't want to clog github issues with unwarranted claims.

Hope some of you can chime in with your experience here and help me find the root cause. List ordered by personal preference:

1. Random loading issues when sorting by Hot/Twelve hours. Might be related to my main instance lemm.ee. I think they did change some server settings (cloudflare, DDOS IIRC and downtime a few days ago) and around the same time the issues started. I click my bookmark for the photon front page and the screens stays black with only the logo in the center. If I manually remove the sort setting from my browser local storage it starts working again, but can not select Twelve hours. Happens a few times a

There is also a container feature already. I marked it at the bottom of attached image with a smaller red box

I dont see any posts in this forum, is this a me issue? (sorry am new)

It's been on a separate URL for a while now but it is now on phtn.app.

It hasn't been merged to main yet and has not been put as stable release, but i believe it is stable enough to bring to my URL.

Once the stable release is out, I will write release notes. This is the svelte 5 version.

that's it

The spoiler is working on the post page but not the preview from the community feed.

I'm using Firefox desktop with phtn.app

So the overall layout won't change, and if you're using default navigation settings, you'll barely notice any difference.

Instances using Photon with SSR have rightfully complained that there's a layout shift between server load and hydration. This happens because the current navbar's position isn't determined by CSS, but by calculations in JavaScript. This is pretty messy and bad.

I rewrote it to be CSS based so that this shift won't happen, and it also simplifies the code quite a lot. However, there's one downside, you won't be able to manually customize the position: the navbar will be a top panel on desktop, and a bottom dock on mobile.

One new feature in this is that on mobile, the bottom dock will hide when you scroll down and re-appear when you scroll up at all. You can disable that in settings.

I consider Photon an opinionated client (of my opinion), but I also want to make sure this isn't a dealbreaker for anyone.

I use Lemmy for bigger news and all that, but sometimes I like to showcase little things I've done in Photon or tweaked. Maybe even hold polls there.

Should I post mini updates there? Lemmy will still be reserved for the big ones.

Photon I feel is a representation of my general ability to do software development, as it's my biggest project. I'm disappointed in myself for how it's been going so far suddenly.

I go through these switches in terms of my philosophy with software, and I guess right now I'm in the "it should do what it should well and expectedly, stop trying to do more and sacrifice the main functionality" phase.

I don't like where Photon ended up, I added too many """features""" that were half baked and just complicated the codebase and added more issue vectors. What people use the most: posts and commenting, have been suffering in their usability with random bugs and a non-seamless experience.

I've also been going much too slow on my promises for Svelte 5, and I can't change much until I've finished that or I'll get conflicts. I've been too lazy because of school and my life.

As soon as I finish the svelte 5 migration, I'm gonna change these things:

• No more features that are out of scope. The

Basically, title. It started happening a few weeks ago. Sometimes it happens right away and freezes the whole DE, more often it happens after scrolling for a while. I know nothing about .js so let me know how I could help diagnose it.

I'm using phtn.app, Firefox 133, Wayland, Fedora 41.

Thanks!
