If there's an epic games game you want but don't want to use the epic launcher or you're on Linux, Heroic Games launcher id a good choice

Gabe Newell says no-one in the industry thought Steam would work as a distribution platform—'I'm not talking about 1 or 2 people, I mean like 99%' in c/[email protected]

i'm pretty confused why people here understandably hate DRM, monopolies, and billionares, but are fine with steam and Gaben

I need to add language settings to communities and profiles. I really dislike how lemmy handles this though.

If you change it in lemmy-ui, it will propagate to Photon because it's an account wide setting.

Replace lemmy-ui in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (6 children)

You should be able to just replace the lemmy-ui image with the photon image, but you'll need to set a few env variables

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL: the domain your Lemmy instance is accessed from. (like lemmy.world)

PUBLIC_INTERNAL_INSTANCE: the url and port for the internal server to access (eg lemmy:8536)

PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED: enable this to allow server rendering which improves SEO

PUBLIC_MIGRATE_COOKIE: this will automatically migrate lemmy-ui logins to photon.

Photon seems to have a semantic layout that firefox detects as settable into reader mode.

Request: translate option in sidebar. in c/[email protected]

Photon technically has it but you need to use your own libretranslate instance since I'm not paying for that.

Command Palette! (lemdro.id)

I'm working on a command palette for Photon, which will allow you to press ctrl + p or / to open a prompt where you can type and go to a page or a recent post instantly.

Are there any actions or links that you'd want me to add?

[Released] [1.31.0] Big speed improvements and infinite scroll (github.com)

submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

This update is currently available on phtn.app, with a tagged release coming soon. Post navigation is down by 65% and returning from posts is instant.

What's Changed

feat: add infinite scroll

You can now scroll down infinitely without clicking next!

As a bonus, returning from a post page is now instant.

Of course, you can turn it off in settings.

A virtual list is also used so that infinite posts can be loaded with no performance impact.

feat: parse tags from title

Tesseract dev and I had the same idea, [tags in brackets] in posts will automatically be converted to a badge/flair. You can click it to search for all posts with that tag in a community.

I added options which let you choose flairs to blur posts of or hide.

tweak link design

improve smaller screen support

codebase: move $profile to a derived, immutable store to improve consistency

i18n: add new languages/update languages

Chinese

English

Estonian

French

Finnish

German

Hebrew

Portuguese

I'm working on adding a feature that will convert tags in the title to flairs, which you can add custom filters/rules to.

Hey, I've been working on a few changes to photon that make it a lot faster to open posts and return, and as a result of these changes I can also make infinite scroll work. If you go to this link, Vercel will have commented on the post with a preview link. Those are basically the beta links.

Preview Link

Let me know of any bugs and any changes you'd like!

Current roadmap

[x] Make this not duplicate posts in memory
[ ] Make this work on all posts
[x] Use a virtual list for better render performance
