Feature: Add support for nitter expandos - #5560
Conversation
This goes directly to the given nitter instance instead of using the existing twitter/x handling. Only includes the 2 nitter instances that seem to allow embeds.

Not sure if this should even be included given how liable the hosting services are to break... |

Not entirely against it, but with everything happening on Reddit right now im wary of flooding an endpoint with requests (we've done this before and got blocked) - How stable is this? |
From my understanding: not stable at all at the moment. privacydev.net returns 429s after like the 2nd request, and poast.org load-loops. If xcancel or lightbrd were on board, those would be better, but they don't allow being used in iframes at all in their CSP. However, under the assumption that folks will move away from Twitter links and at worst use these alternatives, it helps to be prepared with this draft PR. |

Yeah, Probably best to sit on this for a week or two and see if more appear that are stable and see how it goes. We have the release with Bluesky rolling out now so if this picks up we can quickly push one out. |

Remaining in draft until discussion on whether to even do this concludes.
