Along with this, Photon is currently only semi-supported as opposed to being one of our main Alternate Frontends. 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. Along with this Photon is currently only semi-supported as opposed to being
pushed as one of the main alternate frontends as we are unable to update to the
most recent versions. There was a swap in some tooling which prevents hosting it
on some versions of operating systems. For now the alternate frontend will exist
frozen on a version and will in the future either break if a lemmy version
breaks that version of the frontend or if the issues are fixed we will upgrade
it and it will be fully supported again.
