Taken from a YouTube channel called Not Just Bikes.

obviously lots of these "just work" for most people.

I think Photon is the first third party client to implement the modlog.

You can access it from the site about sidebar/window, like the normal lemmy-ui. Or just go to /modlog.

It has feature parity with the lemmy-ui modlog.

Crossposts were also added recently.

Also fixed the infamous profile page switching issue.

This is an alternative to r/comedyhomicide, which is a bit strange of a name.

I was told by an admin I could post updates to Photon here, despite it being a web client?
