    Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides

        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.

        If you happen to be using 1Password, you can search and do a one time fill.

      The one hosted closer to you gives (slightly) better performance.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, m.lemmy.world = Finland, vger.app (formerly wefwef.app) = US.

        It’s pretty marginal though (after tonight). Once the app is installed, all requests will go directly to lemmy.world (after tonight) and response times should be exactly the same.
