Running a poll for this on birdsite: https://x.com/theshittinator/status/1997182340561265031
The TL;DR: We have two UIs:
-
https://forum.guncadindex.com/ - Lemmy-UI. This is the default UI that ships with Lemmy with a custom theme slapped on top of it.
-
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.
i have been using photon.
photon looks leagues better than lemmy ngl
I'd love to be rid of lemmy-ui, won't lie.
Agree
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.
Photon. But the search is better in LemmyUI
Like the interface is better or you get more relevant results?
Search in the Photon do not allow to limit search by community/instance.
photon for sure
