- netniuq 12d agoLibRedirect kind of does so, it's not 100% there yet https://libredirect.manerakai.com/ https://libredirect.manerakai.com/
- culi 11d agoLove this extension. One stop shop and supports any custom alt front-end you want for any website you want. Usually they have all the major ones and are quick to update with mirrors when something goes down but allowing you to do it yourself is a great fallback
- jasonvorhe 11d agoFound this Android app to work quite well. It just lacks working nitter instances right now but you can customize them: https://github.com/circumspace/linkahest https://github.com/circumspace/linkahest
- dredmorbius 11d agoWhat doesn't work is posting a link to a specific Nitter instance with the expectation that that link will persist. Which is what HN has been doing for Twitter submissions for approximately two years: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=%22https%3A%2F%2Fxcancel.com%2F%22&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...> Those links are all now dead.
- done_lurking 11d agoIt's inconvenient that the links are dead, but all the information needed to find the referenced information is still stored in the link. You just have to change the domain to a working instance.
