nitter.net: Tweets missing from timeline on specific profile
I have come across a profile, where on adfd31c530cdfae052333123cd5999b333043bd3 a lot of tweets are missing from the timeline and the pinned tweet is broken. Visiting these broken tweets directly returns Tweet not found (but it does exist)
This profile is broken on most Nitter instances, including nitter.net, but it does work on nitter.42l.fr
I will not post the name of the profile or tweet ids again until asked because it is NSFW. This is a re-post of issue #540.
After investigation we found that the issue is that nitter.net is hosted in Germany. Twitter just 404s these tweets to German instances for some reason. The solution is simply using non-German instances. I don't know what can be done about it.
Thanks for your analysis. Even if the tweets can't be displayed, I think it would be a good idea to display the error message.
Also, nitter should probably not try to display the broken blocked tweet, but an error here as well?
That's the plan, though sometimes they just return a 404 instead of a specific error message when it's due to this country-based blocking.
I've noticed that when you click on the Search tab on a person's profile, you can still see the tweets that would otherwise be missing on the timeline.
However, I still get the Tweet not found message when I try to click on those tweets.
Under same conditions, a different project can still show tweets in a feed, but not in each profile https://github.com/jonjomckay/fritter/issues/351
These restrictions are expanding to other regions. Since a few days ago Sweden is also blocked from 18+ content without an account.
If this trend continues, it could be a concern. Maybe there should be a way to log in with a user?

If this is a legitimate concern, would it hypothetically be possible to allow instance maintainers to (optionally) provide a Twitter account to be used instead of the guest token (perhaps only when deemed necessary, e.g. when a tweet returns a 404)?

This issue seems to have spread to the US too by now. Is someone working on a PR to implement this already?
