      Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides

          It’s not just autofill. If it’s a different domain, the proxy host is reading your password and sending it though to Lemmy to log you in.

          If you happen to be using 1Password, you can search and do a one time fill.

        The one hosted closer to you gives (slightly) better performance.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, m.lemmy.world = Finland, vger.app (formerly wefwef.app) = US.

          It’s pretty marginal though (after tonight). Once the app is installed, all requests will go directly to lemmy.world (after tonight) and response times should be exactly the same.

        Downside from what I understand would be potentially delayed updates depending on how they pull the codebase

        When you’re using vger hosted on a different domain, your password has to be read by them and sent to the Lemmy server to log you in.

        If it’s on the same server, the pw stays in the one system (albeit it might still need to go through the two pieces of software, idk how it’s configured).

        Based on a comment by @[email protected] it looks like they’re just using a docker container, only takes seconds to update. He said he’d probably set up Watchtower which auto updates containers so it should be only an hour or so behind.

      Fantastic. Hopefully this becomes the default and helps to keep your server costs manageable.

        Also most popular servers are no longer proxied (or else soon), so that should help a lot I think.
