Nitter Lives!
On 24 August 2026, cease and desist letters were sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.
UPDATE: Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. More details will be announced soon.

i love nitter, its so fast. I'll always welcome simple, non-reactive websites
I haven't so much as looked at that steaming puddle of Xcrement in the last decade+, but I might just give Nitter a whirl, just because. 😋
I just happened to open the repo and saw this. By now I have my own instance running too at https://stopusingx.com/, forked in https://git.prisma.moe/aichan/nitter. I will have to either sync my repo to the original or switch back to it entirely ;)
I set up an instance too, but with an authwall because I don't want to get spammed by bots and hit the rate limit.
Is your instance a publicly usable instance or are you just showing the domain? I don't have any interest in running my own but wouldn't mind having access to one
If you just want a public viewer and don’t need to host Nitter yourself, I built Twitter viewer for that. No account required, although cached posts may not always be fully up to date.
It is publicly usable, so feel free ;) There are also many others available in https://codeberg.org/mv12star/shitter/wiki/Instances
It's great they are keeping it going, for those people who need access to Twitter.
Great news!
