Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.
Is there a GitHub issue related to this problem that we can follow to see whether Photon addresses this issue?
There was one open a bit ago but its now closed. tldr the swap to Bun from node broke things on some operating systems
I'm glad that the server team is experimenting and trying new things out. This looks really cool for someone!
I just really hope this isn't a preamble to becoming the new default theme, because I really dislike this. It reminds me of other social media services that I go out of my way to avoid.
I particularly dislike the infinitely scrolling dark pattern, but I also don't like that it displays all content immediately, wasting bandwidth, making it difficult to see headlines, and more difficult to ignore previously seen content.
Yeah tesseract wont be the default. Itll just join the other alternate frontends we have (mlmym, voyager, photon, alexandrite)
The default at some point in the future would be sublinks ui that im helping construct and ill be making it so the post feed is similar to lemmy ui
