Hey there everyone. I think the Photon project has matured enough to the point where I feel ready to replace the default lemmy frontend with it. Since this instance serves roughly 1000 people now, I figured this was worth holding a vote on!
Please check out Photon as currently hosted at https://p.lemdro.id.
If you support changing the default frontend to Photon, upvote my comment on this post. If you don’t support it, downvote that same comment.
Thanks!

As long as old.lemdro.id stays I am happy.
old
Has it been down the last couple of days? I’m getting a Cloudflare error
+1 for me with l.lemdro.id reserved for lemmy-ui.
My vote goes to whatever makes you feel like you’re offering the best experience to your users. People that don’t like it can always switch to the old one.
I think it makes sense as a mobile-focused instance. Wouldn’t surprise me most of us are using mobile apps anyway…
it’s going to happen, but I’m working on fine-tuning and testing Photon as currently hosted on p.lemdro.id before we fully migrate. Need to verify SSR support so we be properly indexed by search engines
Not being familiar with Photon vs. Lemmy front end, I’ll risk sounding ignorant with the following questions.
Will anything change in my user experience? Can I still use the same app (Connect) and username to see the same fediverse?
Nothing changes if you already use a different frontend or app, so no action from you! But, for example, if you sent a lemdro.id post link to a friend the interface they’d see would be different
I often use Connect on mobile. Like what someone else said, maybe have a voting poll (or upvoting comments) for what front end is the best?
Yes, move default to old or default or classic or some similar subdomain
I figured it would move to https://l.lemdro.id
