Mobile web twitter is such a piece of crap jc

Like seriously I ran 3D games on this thing and twitter can barely scroll through 3 posts while lagging like shit

@moffintosh If you only want read-only access, set up a Nitter instance. Put it behind nginx and set up auth if you don't want others using your traffic.
That's what I did, it's very lightweight and easy to use on small screen.
People I follow are just bookmarks in Fennec, I never had an account so I'm not used to having a unified Twitter feed, but maybe it's not your cup of tea 🤷

@m0xee I don't have a domain, and honestly I'm not sure I wanna pay for it :blobcatgoogly:

@moffintosh There are free options, like the one noip.com/ offers. You have to "renew" it monthly, but it's mostly comes down to clicking a link in the e-mail message and passing the CAPTCHA.
But I'm not insisting of course 😏
Oh, by the way, I didn't even think of it, but you can use one of the open Nitter instances: github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/
Customize it with user-side CSS (I still do even running my own) and here you go.

@moffintosh They do sometimes go down though and you have to update the bookmarks to use the other one. There is this extension for desktop Firefox: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef
Which handles it for you — it just redirects all Twitter links to Nitter instance of your choice. Unfortunately it doesn't work for mobile version that is why I have my own instance. Nitter itself is pretty straightforward to setup (if you are not using a PowerPC machine to host it like I do😅)

@m0xee For mm6 bike I suggest Untrackme. You can find it on f-droid

Already did that, but twitter filters the content. I found the solution this morning while checking nitter's github thou
