- dredmorbius 4y agoNitter's settings page lists a bunch: Youtube -> Invidious or Piped Twitter -> Nitter Instagram -> Bibliogram Reddit -> Teddit Most or all have numerous hosts and you can pick the one(s) that are most convenient or memorable to you. It's also possible to host these yourself, and I've suggested in the past that HN might consider doing so for Twitter specifically. Reddit possibly as well. (The others are fairly low-traffic on HN.) Quora would be a nice addition to the list.
