We've installed Voyager and it's reachable at https://m.lemmy.world, you can browse Lemmy, and login there (also if your account isn't on lemmy.world)

💙 This is awesome! Thanks @[email protected]!
Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides
Benefit: My password autofill works because the domain is lemmy.world instead of voyager.app.
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.
This won’t be the case as soon as Lemmy.world fixes their CORS policy.
If you happen to be using 1Password, you can search and do a one time fill.
Oh I can still do it with iCloud passwords, it’s just not as convenient.
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.
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).
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.
