I'm using this for about a month now and the only problem is the default instances that are used are getting rate-limited/blocked; so you will have to find or host your own fresh instance.
- codemac 5y agoThis is one of the major problems with distributed / federated systems. The name itself (twitter, youtube, etc) is meaningful to users. These "default instances" need ways to distribute the compute & network load while allowing users to only remember "nitter". Are there any projects that address this? Would be curious to help.
- teitoklien 5y agoIt doesn’t need a separate project , all it needs are hosters to just agree to be behind a load balancer together.
- codemac 5y agoThat.. that sounds like a project :) It doesn't need to be "separate", but it does seem that many of these systems could use the same load balancer design.
- AdmiralAsshat 5y agoThis is my experience as well. I've typically got to refresh the average linked tweet about 3-5 times before it cycles to a federated instance that can actually render the page.
