There is apparently an alternate web interface that is a bit more sophisticated called "Photon." For example, the Photon version of https://programming.dev/ is simply https://p.programming.dev/. In Photon, it is easier to perform mod actions with users who have never interacted with the community in question. I have no idea if every community has this or how it works. It seems to be a wholly different way of interacting with the same instance since not even one's user credentials carry over from the non-Photon subdomain.
