Happy to announce we’ve finally setup some alternative frontends.
- https://p.feddit.uk (photon)
- https://a.feddit.uk (alexanderite)
- https://old.feddit.uk (mlmym)
Photon might be flaky, we’re on a release candidate because of issue I was running into using it in Firefox. It’s also what I’m using to write this. If you notice any issues, feel free to let us know.

Yeah, the text box getting its own scroll window instead of expanding is annoying. It can be expanded, but I imagine that’s a pain to do on mobile.

For anyone else annoyed by this, I’ve created a userscipt to auto expand the textarea. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Autoexpand textarea
// @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match https://p.feddit.uk/*
// @grant none
// @version 1.0

// ==/UserScript==
function updateHeight(textarea) {
var text = textarea.target.value;
var lineHeight = 1.25 * parseFloat(getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).fontSize);
var taHeight = textarea.target.scrollHeight - 16 * 2;
var lines = Math.max(Math.ceil(taHeight / lineHeight), 8);
textarea.target.rows = lines;
}
setInterval((function () {
let textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (let textarea of textareas) {
textarea.addEventListener("input", updateHeight);
}
}), 2000);
