lemmy-lite's Issues

Server Not Found

Hi, I get a "server not found" error whenever I try to visit the website. Has it been relocated? Thanks!

Any interest in reviving this?

@IronOxidizer With renewed interest in Lemmy and other Reddit alternatives, and seeing the complexity and lack of performance of the standard Lemmy UI, I think your approach here is worthwhile and possibly even the better approach.
If you could update to make this compatible with Lemmy's current docker setup, I could contribute on the front end

A note about requests header IP forwarding.

We've run into an issue with lemmy's isomorphic UI, that you'll probably have to deal with too.

If you're doing a request to a local lemmy instance, (IE docker -> docker), the lemmy backend needs these two headers: x-forwarded-for and x-real-ip.

If you don't have them, you can easily hit lemmy's rate limits, as it will see the internal docker IP, as opposed to the external IP. Since lemmy-lite is doing local requests to a locally running lemmy, it'll need to add these headers to the http fetches.

Running it on my laptop

is there a way to run it on my laptop without nginx? i tried cargo build but don't know what's the next step

Using AnyBrower guidelines

I thought that would be interesting make use of https://anybrowser.org/campaign/ guidelines.

Could other web servers be supported?

I would suggest Apache HTTP Server at first.

Heads up, we've added an Active sort in the release today.

Here's the full changes, but we've added an Active sort, I noticed lemmy-lite has that dropdown.
