Alternative Frontends added and using photon frontend as default (self.meta)

After some constant issues with lemmy's default UI and its interaction with other services, I've opted add all of the most mature alternative web frontends: photon (looks like "new reddit", will be the default and also available at https://photon.communick.news), mlmym (looks like "old reddit", available at https://classic.communick.news) and voyager (looks like apollo, available at https://m.communick.news)

Later this week I hope to have a proper post-mortem. I'm still not sure what is the issue with lemmy-ui, but these changes was a good lesson in how to setup the Lemmy backend without the UI and also on how to deploy Lemmy in scenarios that are more complex than the one for self-hosters.

Yeah, I'm finding myself using the mlmym and alexandrite frontends because of the lacking functionality. I'll add lemmy-ui back.
