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.
