Nitter reports increase in active instances after recent takedowns

A new community‑maintained wiki listing active instances of the decentralized microblogging service “shitter” has been published on Codeberg. The page, located at https://codeberg.org/mv12star/shitter/wiki/Instances, provides a curated directory of servers, their status, and basic usage guidelines, aiming to simplify the onboarding process for users seeking alternatives to mainstream platforms.

The wiki’s launch quickly attracted attention on Hacker News, where the discussion thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49571634) amassed 98 points and 26 comments. Participants highlighted the resource’s utility for navigating the fragmented “shitter” ecosystem, debated the reliability of listed instances, and suggested ongoing community contributions to keep the information current. The response underscores growing interest in federated social networks and the role of open‑source documentation in supporting their adoption.
