I'm honored to have Photon a part of this list!
- Just installed Photon on my instance (photon.fanexus.com) this morning and it's beautiful!
  
  It's surreal that some random project i made because i was bored is now gaining some traction and is being hosted on large instances.
- and we're delighted to host you! what a wonderful little project!
- Photon one looked best!
- just tried and it looks pretty good.
nu.lemdro.id looks very interesting
- Agreed. It's my favourite design. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress!
  
  Unfortunately I can't login no matter what neither on my laptop nor smartphone:(
Yep. They are all great. Photon is my favourite so far. Sleek & Fast with a Black & White theme. But they are still a Work in Progress amd lack features. I tried them a week ago. I always end up reverting back to lemdro.id
- You can always suggest new features on the GitHub!
Is lemdro.id just a frontend? Is it not attached to a particular instance?
- Lemdro.id is an instance but each instance can host mutliple frontends if they like.
- It is an Instance.
  
  Lemmy.world also hosts Voyager at https://m.lemmy.world and MLMYM at https://old.lemmy.world
- It is an instance. This post is in the !android@lemdro.id community of the lemdro.id instance, for example. There’s also !askandroid@lemdro.id or !google@lemdro.id, to name a few
- As mentioned by others, it's a specific instance but with multiple frontends. The main LemmyUI is just one of them!
- lemdro.id is just a frontend, however it does have a special shortcut to the backend that allows it to function better under heavy load (on lemdro.id specifically)
  
  special shortcut
  
  Can you elaborate?
  
  I think they mean whether the entirety of lemdro.id is just a webapp like vger.app, rather than an instance as well.
I love this. So much choice, glad the 3rd party app community fully embraces lemmy.

I'm a little confused. Those aren't Lemmy Themes, are they? Instances that use them still use the Lemmy default look by... default, right?
- They're not themes, but entirely different web apps for accessing the Lemmy frontend. The default Lemmy-UI is just one of them and could be replaced outright.
  
  ...okay, that's a bit confusing but okay.
  
  I have two questions:
  
  Those web apps are made with theming in mind? One thing that Old Reddit allows is subreddits having their own css theme, some of them are better than the default old reddit. Suppose I'm the owner of a Lemmy instance and want to replicate the look of a specific reddit community, would that be a pain in the ass to do? The same question for Photon and Voyager, as I imagine some instance might want to further theme it, by changing things more thant just the banner and icon.
  
  Wouldn't it be better to write those interfaces as Lemmy-UI themes? Or is that impossible?
