What are the benefits of self-hosting wefwef?
I’d like to run a private or possibly a public installation? Will self-hosting improve app performance and reduce errors?
Self hosting will help greatly with rate limiting
Can you please explain how it will help with rate limiting?
Right now, every request passes through wefwef.app and on to the Lemmy instance (it’s acting as a proxy). From my understanding this is due to a lack of CORS support but that will be fixed in a future Lemmy update.
There is also the privacy/security issue since your session token and what you are browsing on Lemmy passes through this same proxy. Which also will be fixed with CORS support.
If you setup your own self hosted instance you don’t need to worry about these issues.
Is self-hosting on github pages possible?
