Hhaha that's right, sucks to the frontend.

Since you're technical, I'll mention that a huge factor with this codebase and me suggesting Lemmy, is that this reddit code is old as shit. It's still python 2 and requires all sorts of specific versions of stuff that only exists for Ubuntu 14. Upgrading it all is doable, but it's a burly project and I sure as heck don't want to tackle it by myself. I wouldn't want to write anything from scratch either, but the voat.xyz guy just pulled it off in lovely old PHP. The lemmy backend is done in Rust.

I'm figuring out how to get Lemmy running behind a proxy server now, so that it won't leak its ip address. I can use help auditing the thing.

Who cares? Just send me the server i am not scared to reveal my ip address or my physical address

no, it's to protect the server's ip address. so it cannot be DDOSed directly.
