replacing mlmym with a fork (code.mschae23.de)

hello. i'm a happy user of lemmy.today.

i've always used the mlmym frontend available on old.lemmy.today, it generally works well enough. however, there are some minor minor bugs and missing features. (e.g. impossible to navigate to next page when viewing saved posts, impossible to see down/upvotes separated)

i recently came across this fork of mlmym (from this github issue) and it seems to have all those bugs fixed. can we replace the current mlmym with this fork?

thanks for reading

I ended up using the external nginx for setting rules for rate limiting and such, and there I see the real ip. It's before traffic even gets to mlmym so that's good.

Also made sure to make it use the internal Lemmy url and skip a lot of the proxy stuff I was using earlier. It seems faster now.

I implemented the headers today, so version 26.2.1 should hopefully do this correctly now.

I could only really test it in my deployment, so feel free to let me know if you have any issues!

It works! I discovered way too late that lemmy was rate limiting traffic from mlmym, because it wasnt part of my nginx config. It was lemmy itself that was doing rate limiting since all requests came from the same docker ip.

But forwarding the real ip headers fixed that, so very good. Huge thanks!

Cool. :) I think that will be a very useful feature for a lot of Lemmy admins.

Will play around with it later...!
