The cors issue that was forcing wefwef to proxy traffic is finally been reviewed and merged. Most likely the next version of Lemmy 0.18.1 will support CORS.

This means wefwef won't needd to proxy requests and might be able to switch to static hosting ๐Ÿ˜Š

What changes would I notice when this update goes through?

wefwef should feel more snappy in general as it can talk directly to lemmy instead of relaying requests.

So lemmy v0.18 broke CORS. You can expect poor performance on wefwef.app connecting to lemmy.world until the following PR is merged in: LemmyNet/lemmy#3421

This hotifx allows you to connect to lemmy.world once again, even if the experience is poor (because we have to proxy all traffic because... cors)

Nothing immediate, I imagine. This change fixes an issue wefwef had with lemmy.world where too many people using the app caused it to become rate limited.

After this goes live, traffic will come from your own device instead of having to be proxied. So no more rate limit issues!

Yay! I love the pace the threadiverse is moving at.
