I've been using this for a while, and it works well but it also often redirects me to broken instances, which is not inherently that horrible (most of the time these are just hosted by people in their spare time with spare funds), but in that case I'd like to see automatic redirection and some memory that this host wasn't accessible, so the plugin should try to avoid it in the near future.
- pessimizer 4y agoRight now it seems the only solution for broken instances is to open settings and remove the instance manually. Interestingly, there's a speed test for instances in the settings, but it just tests them one after another, flashes a number, then moves to the next in a fairly useless fashion. I'm assuming this half-implemented feature is actually just a first step towards automating the thing a bit.
- Liquix 4y agoThis is the aim of the farside [0] project. For example instead of juggling a list of up/down invidious mirrors, just plug in https://farside.link/invidious https://farside.link/invidious and it will automatically redirect to a working instance.
