We added an extra UI for our users. Photon by Xylight is an interface with a sleek, modern look and has all the bells and whistles you would need. Moderator tools included! You can access the UI from https://photon.lemmy.world.
Visit Photon’s project page on github or get in touch with the developer in the !photon@lemmy.xylight.dev community. If you want to use photon on other instances you can do so from https://phtn.app.
Update: @Xylight has set up a donation link so if you like photon as much as I do, show him some love! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xylight
Photon.Lemmy is down
Lemmy.world is having some serious issues lately. See https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/
I’m seriously considering switching to a different instance.
It’s unrelated to Photon.
You do what you want to do, you can still reach the communities here.
But let me repeat that these are DDOS attacks. There are a few who want to see this server go down and/or push us to ‘close registrations’. Also the deferation from the extreme right and left instances made us some more enemies.
They’re trying to make it look as if we can not handle the load for their own benefit. But it’s a targeted attack by people who know the inner workings of Lemmy.
Has there been any posts on this outside of discord? Anything we can do? It’s been noticable and I have an alt I can use when lemmy.world is down, but I didn’t even realize this was happening.
