  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.

    This 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.

      It doesn’t need a separate project , all it needs are hosters to just agree to be behind a load balancer together.

        That.. 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.

    This 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.
