Hi all. I’ve been building my own little fediverse setup at dboft.com to fit how I like to read, and I’m grateful for all the work and community that makes something like this possible. Looking forward to being here with you all!

Neither, and good eye. dboft ran Photon to start, and when I replaced it with my own front end I carried the favicon over without registering that the hexagon was Photon’s mark. That was a mistake, and it’s been swapped. The Photon-y feel is real: Photon was the client I replaced, so it set the bar for what mine had to do, and the basics look alike because they’re the basics of any Lemmy client: votes, sharing, compact and card views, threaded comments, a tab bar on phones. Beyond that the design is a different one: a three-pane split reader, related posts found by meaning rather than tags, following people, reminders, and every page readable as plain Markdown or JSON(public pages). The code is written from scratch; none of Photon’s is in it. Credit to Photon either way.
I’m very familiar with this writing style. Sorry, but I don’t see why I would use a vibe coded instance when there are already so many non-vibe coded instances to choose from
