Some of you may know that some specific instances have continued working for a while now (e.g. nitter.poast.org) thanks to them using account tokens.

Well - now the official instance also seems to be back online and using that method too. Haven’t seen many people talk about this so I figured I should post it :).

    I suspect many people aren’t talking about this because many Lemmy users don’t use the platform.

    Just use an alternative service instead of trying to find more ways to use Musks personal propaganda platform. Honesly, It makes more sense to open up apps like this again, quietly, since it was was a serious strategic flaw to block it in the first place.

    I don’t disagree with the concept of this front end, but there are just better options out there.

      I second this. Him being able to go to his shareholders and show off engagement metrics just helps prop up his special brand of fascism.
