Alternate frontends (lemmy.nz)

I've been neck deep in Lemmy stuff recently and realised we don't have a post that explains the different frontend options that are available on Lemmy.nz.

If you don't like the Lemmy.nz website, you can test out one of the other website versions to see if one is to your liking (or use a Lemmy app, of which there are now many).

The default website is called lemmy-ui, and is accessed at lemmy.nz.

In addition, we have the following alternate websites. You use the same login details, it's the same site, it's a bit like using a different app to connect.

I don't actively monitor these, but they do have automatic updates. If one isn't working, please let me know!

If you have any questions, feel free to reply here.

Oh wow; Mlmym is quite the retro nostalgic Reddit clone huh :)

Photon & Tesseract are both quite nice though - a bit more professional modern web looking than the default one though that could just be the colour scheme that makes lemmy-ui look a bit odd.

Tesseract started as a fork of Proton, which is why they look so similar. But then I believe they turned their attention to Sublinks, which is another federated service much like Lemmy.

The cool thing about Sublinks is they maintain Lemmy API compatibility, so any Lemmy apps can be used with Sublinks. For the same reason, Tesseract can also be used with Lemmy.

Sublinks is very early days still, but chose Java as a back end language to try to have more people able to help.
