[2025/7/9] Photon progress update (lemdro.id)

Photon is two years old now! (I missed the birthday which was 2 weeks ago. :< )

I've done these posts a few times during Photon's early days, and they've been helpful.

2.0 is almost out, I'm done with pretty much everything and it's stable enough. There's bug fixes in here that make it arguably more stable than the current "stable" release.

I ended up with a bit of a "RobTop and 2.2" situation working on this update.

if you're on phtn.app you're always on the latest commit, and if you're using lemdro.id, p.lemmy.world, or photon.slrpnk.net, you're on the latest 2.0 beta.

Ill make a big release note once it's out, but for now:

Are there any new features that you'd like?

Currently planned is:

  • Piefed support (targeting v2.2.0)

Side noteThank you to everyone who supports and uses Photon, this has been my most motivated project and I'm glad it's useful to some. I've started to recognize the usernames of all the translators and those who are active in this community. I'm not planning on dropping this project anytime soon!

How cool is having our very own "frontend" guy, supported across instances.

Love it ๐Ÿฅฐ
