Maybe you don't use it very often? For months before the recent chaos it was very reliable. The fact that it's working today is only because I fixed it, Twitter didn't change anything.

It's disabled on nitter.net to reduce load while this new solution is being tested. Check the instance list for updated instances, most of them have RSS enabled: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Ins

Search, which is required for the multi-timeline feature, isn't implemented right now. I have a fix in the works using a legacy endpoint.
