Alternate Frontend

We now have a new alternate frontend for the instance, Tesseract! Tesseract is a fork of photon with some differences visible on the github page for it: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

The main overall features being:

  • Full Media Support in Feed and Posts
  • Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
  • Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration
  • Fediseer Integration
  • Distinguished and Sticky Comments
  • Keyword Filtering
  • Multiple Account Support
  • Better Moderation Tools than Lemmy-UI

You can find the frontend at https://t.programming.dev

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.
