Nitter has announced a shut down (like a week ago) due to api changes

so the github is not up to date

Libredirect can redirect to other front-ends automatically for you.

[–] apolitx@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

true, but this repo gives you tons of options to customize and refine your libredirect configs!

Have been using this for ages. Highly recommended.

Oh, very cool list (though Nitter - and probably another Twitter clients?(1) - are probably dead?

Same as that happened to Bibliogram earlier – a cat-n-mouse game between Dev and API owner.

Yes.. honestly, I don't see this approach being worthwhile...

It's better to search for full open source alternatives, front end and backend... like Lemmy/kbin for or reddit, peertube/lbry for YouTube, etc.

True, but till the transition completes (if it ever), these privacy frontends are quite handy tool to view content of those services.

I heavily use LibReddit to follow certain Subreddits, although I now mostly frequent Lemmy.
