They just broke nitter. Hopefully it will be fixed soon but in the long term Musk can cut nitter off if he wants.

It's working for me.

  Which instance? None of the ones I'm trying are working. Maybe it's regional

    You can refer to the full list on the github page[0] (which I find to be pretty accurate). I personally use La Contre-Voie[1] for no particular reason. nitter.net was historically a little less reliable for me due to rate limiting, which is why I initially switched. They worked around the rate limiting issue now, so that may no longer be the case.

      Thanks. Unfortunately, not having any luck with any of them, including lacontrevoie. Nitter.net gives a nim error, the others don't find any tweets

        If give us a Twitter username as an example I'll find an instance thats working. The tweets and the non-t.co URLs are in the RSS.

        Thanks - try holly, for example.

        Got a message saying Twitter is blocking all access without login. You were right ajb. I was not getting this yesterday though. This also happened back in June but it was only temporary.

        Great - at least it's not me personally being blocked somehow. I hope they do unblock it, but it does show that nitter is still at the mercy of Twitter.

        And Twitter is at the mercy of Musk. If he blocks access to the public that chooses not to join then the problem is not Nitter. If X is going to be members-only like the Meta clone then I hope folks will stop submitting tweets to HN.

        Nitter is working again. Try https://nitter.cz/holly/rss https://nitter.cz/holly/rss No t.co URLs.

        Ahah! I see now you are correct, it was just broken after a good run of stability. Prior to this it had been working well for a month or so. If the past is any indication, Nitter will be back again eventually, but every time Nitter breaks I drift further and further from caring about Twitter/X at all.

They just broke nitter. Hopefully it will be fixed soon but in the long term Musk can cut nitter off if he wants.
