i fixed it

The server and the client render differently.

If SSR is enabled, the initial page load will be loaded by the server then sent to the client. Then, the client router will take over and load pages itself after that.

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL is the instance URL for photon to use. Sometimes, you might want the server to use something like localhost, so you can make the server have a different instance URL than the client.

You can install photon as a PWA, which is basically an app. On the website, click the three dots and click "install as app"

While I believe that this may be a hostile decision, it was inevitable. A lot of YouTube's revenue comes from ads. Use piped or something

You can ban them (if you're an admin), but the ban won't federate to other instances.

Update: fixed in v1.18.0! making an update post now!

Thanks for all that you do! I donated :>
