Yep.
They’ll figure it out, it will take some time.

So far some fork managed to get parser to work with search / posts, profiles to come…

Nitter update:

If this doesn’t get reversed within the next couple of weeks I’ll switch to using embeds as an emergency measure, but for now I’m just going to wait it out.

I appreciate the support everyone, it’s amazing to see how many people use my little pet project. Nitter isn’t going down without a fight.
