Wait, why do you need to host a web client?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It isn’t just a client right now. Due to CORS restrictions on Lemmy 0.18 instances, wefwef also has a proxy that sits between the PWA and the Lemmy instance.

I'm not using it at the moment. But what would be the benefit of self hosting?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Currently the benefit is not sending your credentials and other requests through wefwef.app and avoiding throttling. If you value privacy self hosting is a good idea. If you trust wefwef, then the only other reason is to customize/develop wefwef.

After CORS fix in Lemmy is done and wefwef updates your requests should go directly to Lemmy servers so privacy concerns are mitigated.
