Lemmy is certainly a lot faster than new reddit, but I prefer the aesthetic and speed of old.reddit.com and hackernews. I like the minimalism and how everything defaults to the left of the browser rather than the center. I also really enjoy how I can expand the entire text of a post without actually clicking on the post’s link.

Just my thoughts. Hoping to see more theme and front-end options emerge over time.

    The main issue you’re gonna encouter is CORS. There is no real upstream decision on loosening the existing CORS permissions. The alternative is to proxy every request from everyone which will not only get you rate limited but also you will have to deal with storing people’s authentication tokens which requires not only complete trust in every step of the way but also not accidentally messing things up and exposing them somewhere.

      Hmm… that’s interesting, I didn’t think about that. Definitely not gonna proxy, that’s for sure, I wanted it to be serverless.

      Welp, I don’t know how it could be done then. I would ping Dessalines or Nutomic, but I haven’t really decided to start working on this, so I won’t bother them. But if anyone feels like going for it, I’ll be happy to lend a hand.

      Edit: I just saw there’s an open PR to allow CORS. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
