Lemmy is the first platform I've come across that I'm actually excited to use in many years. Being federated and not motivated by profits (with all the tracking and selling of personal information that it entails) makes me feel like I'm not the product.
Really nice job so far! If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to get around CORS? I've started tinkering with the official JS client and ran into issues.
