Lemmy Apps

Photon has had a lot of progress made recently. From a new design system to becoming a drop in replacement, changes are made constantly.

This is not everything that has changed, but there's a lot.

I've added the following:

• password resets
• verify email routes
• option to change password when logged in
• a warning message when your session expires

Photon can now be used as a default UI with (hopefully) no issue!

However, Photon cannot setup a new instance currently. This only works on instances that have already been setup with lemmy-ui, you can swap it out.

v1.15.0 will add a UI to do this.

instance admins, a docker image and setup instructions are available here. It is recommended you set the PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED env var to true to let search engines crawl the site.

Yet another view type has been added: cozy

It is essentially just the card view, but without a background. I quite like it.

• feat: add lemmy version to site card
• upgrade: mono-ui: 0.3.3 -> 0.3.5
• feat: copy community id to clipboard when clicked
• feat: only show comment form when you click "create comment"

I've tweaked the colors for light theme quite a lot. I think they look nice. It means I can make the background of buttons white, giving a clear separation.

• Tweak light theme colors
• Overhaul community page
• Add Inter font
  • I kept the default as System UI. You can enable Inter from the settings.
• Upgrade to Mono v0.3.2

What's new:

• feat: Add ability to manage federated instances
  • You can even upload a CSV!
• feat: Add markdown to post titles
  • Since this is a rare occurrence i didn't turn the title input into a markdown editor.
• feat: Use notification date instead of submission date for inbox
• feat: Expand images on click
  • I've made this an option since some people might dislike it.

Other stuff I haven't mentioned from previous updates:

• fix: Subscribed text being cut off
• change some wording
• Add a back button and reload comments button to post pages
• Add error handling to RelativeDate

Thanks for all your support on Photon! I'm still working on localization.
