Using the network devtools, you can see that logging in sends the request directly to the instance, and does not send it through the server. The only proxying done is to upload images due to a CORS issue with Lemmy.

The client is open source, you can check it here: https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon

That's an old screenshot. One sec.

edit: updated the screenshots

it looks like someone with UX experience was at least in proximity to this at the time it was designed?

ouch. that hurt.

FYI most of those have official urls.

Sir

How much experience did you have with Rust when you started making Lemmy? What programming languages did you use before?

Holy crap, two people with different opinions having a civilized discussion?!?!?!!

it's nice to see more of these on Lemmy.

Proton is so great that I buy a few games, play them for hours, just to realize there wasn't a native Linux version. I don't even notice.

best solution to all rust problems /s

The instances are volunteer-ran and make no profit, give them some time to iron everything out

How long would this have to run for it to round up to 100%?

reminds me of a russian doll
