Ask HN: Nitter officially declared "over" today, alternatives?
The developer from bird.makeup is asking for donations of account tokens: https://www.patreon.com/posts/call-for-special-98167212
I'm also thinking about adding twscrape support to my https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser and extend its mirrors to Mastodon servers, but to be honest I can not afford (money- and time-wise) to get into yet-another project without at some minimal financial support.

Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
It has been far from a stalemate. Reddit has won this battle, but the war is not over.
Saying that as someone been dedicating full-time since September to a project to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy [0], the truth is that there is simply no alternative yet for all the niche communities that are established there.
About a month ago, I posted here [1] about my project to try to make it easier to sign up and automatically discover/subscribe the Lemmy communities [2], but I wasn't expecting to have such a long tail of communities that need to be mapped out. The ~150 users that signed up to alien.top led to a discovery of about 6000 different subreddits.
I was doing the work of curation and creating alternative communities by hand, but I realized that was going to be an endless task. This is why I started working on a crowdsourced solution [3], which I launched last Friday

Show HN: Fediverser Portal. Bring your subreddits to Lemmy
I see https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser/issues/9 but I would be much more likely to use it if the oauth2 dance didn't ask for aggressive perms versus a "ask for all the perms then revoke them later"

Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends
> reddit redirect will randomly stop working
One of the goals from https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser is to mirror reddit discussions into different Lemmy instances. This coming week I'm planning to work on the part that lets you connect your reddit account to a respective Lemmy instance and migrate your posts. Would you like to try it out?

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

I hear weโre a dictatorship now, Father
The LibRedirect extension can redirect Twitter links to Nitter, and redirects a bunch of other sites to better privacy-friendly alternatives.

Dan Parker has sold off Yugipedia and YGOrganization, nine months after the Yugipedia Lost Incident
You can use https://libredirect.github.io/ to automatically redirect to a Breezewiki instance, but I'm not sure if LibRedirect would interact with YGOWiki Redirector or Indie Wiki Buddy.

Piped โ An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube front end
You can embed videos from an Invidious instance instead; on a video's page[1] there's an "embed video" link[2] you can use. The instance can be one hosted by you if you don't trust public ones, and you probably want to enable proxying by default if you don't want your clients to stream the video directly from Google's servers. You can also use a browser extension like libredirect[3] to automatically replace YouTube embeds with Invidious ones while browsing the web.
