The TL;DR: We have two UIs:

  1. https://forum.guncadindex.com/ - Lemmy-UI. This is the default UI that ships with Lemmy with a custom theme slapped on top of it.

  2. https://p.forum.guncadindex.com/ - Photon. This UI is slick, but it’s missing a couple admin features (which isn’t a big deal) and had a bug when we first deployed it where new user signups would erroneously get a “token validation error” or something. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it.

The question I want you guys to answer is: Which do you prefer? I assume most people think Photon is slicker, but I could be mistaken.

If most people like Photon, I might give it a shot in the limelight again to see if they’ve fixed that bug yet.

    Photon looks great but thumbnail quality looks micro…

    Personally i think guncadindex and fosscad.io should use mlmym for lemmy to really bring back that reddit like ui without the reddit bullshit.

      +1 for mlmym, can’t beat that classic reddit look. If possible, set mlmym as the default for desktop browsers and photon for mobile browsers

    If you get photon working + cozy view = no reason to use reddit anymore, it’s practically the same visual appearance. The community will anyway shift here, as there is more and more signs that 3d2a will get banned on all public platforms…

    Photon for sure. But on mobile im using Summit, which has its own sleek look. So not a huge deal if the lemmy ui stays.
