We added an extra UI for our users. Photon by Xylight is an interface with a sleek, modern look and has all the bells and whistles you would need. Moderator tools included! You can access the UI from https://photon.lemmy.world.

Visit Photon's project page on github or get in touch with the developer in the [email protected] community. If you want to use photon on other instances you can do so from https://phtn.app.

Update: @Xylight has set up a donation link so if you like photon as much as I do, show him some love! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xylight

I don't know why websites do that, it doesn't look better, is probably more confusing and in general just slower for everyone

It's a small piece of a security gate to slow down bots trying to login

Its probably also more difficult to program the functionality into multiple pages as well.

I've never seen this separated into multiple actual pages. As long the “multiple pages” are done in JavaScript, they don't add much complexity.

It allows you to direct users with specific usernames/domains to specific login pages. For example for Single Sign on.
