I'm glad you enjoy it :)
I've been focused lately on changing some UI aspects of Photon to please both sides, compact mode is now comparable to old reddit (while looking good) and it's the default. People who like them can switch to the cozy interface on their own.
Im an exmo who has never heard of that. Wtf?!?
Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
When rendering the post preview Photon cuts off the rest of the text at around character 300 for performance reasons. Part of the spoiler got caught in it causing it to not be valid markdown. I'm not sure if I'll try to fix this.
I mean that's why it's "mildly infuriating", it doesn't enrage me as much as Twitter requiring a sign in for the whole site.
I removed it because I don't want my app to necessarily depend or be associated with any specific centralized external source, like MBFC. By adding it to my app, I'm implicitly supporting its use, which wasn't necessarily my goal.
I don't think presence of alternative UIs is a good reason to not recommend an instance. Voyager, alexandrite, and Photon, all have independent web apps (vger.app, alexandrite.app, phtn.app, respectively)
Pretty much sums up my life
I need an inspirational title for my autobiography
Photon 2.0.0 betas are out
Can't reproduce, is this on desktop or mobile?
I guess this is why it's a beta and not a full release.
I meant resumed
Restarted progress. seems to be going fine so far.
I think chromium broke something related to that recently. I havent touched it at all recently.
I'm still confused because this hasn't been answered before. Why is this getting downvoted? It's news, don't shoot the messenger
