Which Lemmy instances use Photon?

I know rekabu.ru does because I was looking for Russian-language instances and found that, what else uses it??

You can access Photon at https://phtn.app/ to use any instance, or selfhost.

Additionally, some instances I'd recommend that use photon are

  • lemdro.id (which uses it as their primary!)
  • p.lemmy.world
  • photon.slrpnk.net

I'm curious why your instance, sh.itjust.works, hosts Tesseract but not Photon. They have diverged so much they cannot be considered similar.

Oooo, thanks!

If you like Photon, you might like Tesseract. It's a Photon fork.

dubvee.org
tesh.itjust.works
tess.lemmy.ca
tes.leminal.space

[Tesseract is] a Photon fork.

TIL that Tesseract is a Photon Fork. Would you know, by chance, at what point in Photon's development it was forked to form Tesseract, and what the rationale was?

I think @ptz@dubvee.org might answer. If I’m not mistaking they are the main dev.

It was forked around a year or more back I believe. They are completely different projects now imo. Photon aims for the best UX and speed, while Tesseract aims to be super feature-rich.

That comment from elsewhere in this thread explains you can use it on any instance.

Isn't there a universal interface for photon on any instance? I tried using them at some point but neither is compatible with my networking practices. In only use Alexandrite.

You can go to https://phtn.app/ and proxy login to any Lemmy instance. But admins can also self-host Photon on their domain, like https://p.lemmy.world/.

We run the latest beta.7 on https://photon.slrpnk.net/

Just wanna stop and say open source is cool, neat to see what instances have what interfaces :)

It's default on lemdro.id, suppo.fi and fedit.pl

You can log into any Lemmy instance from any Photon instance.

Hi, feddit.nl does, they have multiple alternative frontends. Btw, you can just log into photon with any account.
