You should add ProxyPreserveHost On. Otherwise you run into LemmyNet/lemmy#3273

Wait, people are using this super old config?

Does it still work? 😮

Well, we don't need the pictshare and iframely bit (and it wouldn't work anyways, it would have to be after the Lemmy Proxy). And I don't know about the SSL stuff, I have something else doing that for me.

But all in all it works, apart from the bug I mentioned.

It's the first result on Google when trying to find out how to proxy Lemmy on Apache.
