- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 6 days ago:
Not to advertise, but you could try Photon. It’s what Tesseract was forked from wayyy back as me and the tesseract dev’s philosophies split.
It’s more opinionated, and features are carefully organized compared to Tesseract where plenty of shortcuts and links are given (which isn’t bad at all, just targets different preferences).
- Comment on Google Gemini is coming for your private apps. Here's how to stop it 1 week ago:
It’s a system app? I was able to uninstall it directly on my Pixel 8. Unless it’s only a system app above that.

- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 4 weeks ago:
The way ActivityPub federation works, once an instance is “linked” (like lemm.ee linking with lemmy.world, lemdro.id, etc), the instance will now send them an event once a post is made or something like that.
For example:
- lemm.ee —links–> lemmy.world
- lemm.ee user makes a post A
- lemm.ee —notifies–> lemmy.world
- lemmy.world makes a copy of post A.
So yes, every Lemmy instance stores copies of new data from other instances once they link.
- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 4 weeks ago:
You can access Photon at phtn.app to use any instance, or selfhost.
Additionally, some instances I’d recommend that use photon are
- lemdro.id (which uses it as their primary!)
- p.lemmy.world
- photon.slrpnk.net
- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 4 weeks ago:
It was forked around a year or more back I believe. They are completely different projects now imo. Photon aims for the best UX and speed, while Tesseract aims to be as feature-rich as it can.

- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 5 weeks ago:
Most people who dislike cloudflare do so for their centralization of the internet, rightly so.
Me? I HATE THE STUPID “VERIFYING YOUR REQUEST” PROMPTS. THEY TAKE WAYYY TOO LONG AND DONT WORK WITH MY USER AGENT SWITCHER. STUPID WEBSITES WITH 3 MONTHLY USERS ARE TURNING ON ADVANCED “DDOS PROTECTION” JUST TO MAKE EVERY FUNCTION OF THEIR APP TAKE 18 MONTHS

- Comment on TIL: photon is an awesome opinionated web client for Lemmy to help users discover the fediverse. 4 months ago:
It means that design choices and features I implement will follow what I believe to be optimal. I still try to consider what the users think, but the overall organization will prioritize my thought. It sounds narcissistic, but other software often follows this pattern.
It’s why Photon will rarely implement random features if I deem it to be something left to another tool, because my opinion is that it should remain simple unless the feature will significantly improve the user experience.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 9 months ago:
It is not weird. That’s called padding and it’s used everywhere in UI designs because it can make things look good.
