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 ;)
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.
