  photon.ani.social’s on a old version that uses a different way of lemmy’s resizing

  I could potentially add an option to waste heaps of bandwidth and load full images for everything (like everyone else, including lemmy-ui) but it seems wasteful

  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 ⁨Which Lemmy instances use Photon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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

  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.

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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.
