instances are rate-limited

Open kaedeisafox opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

this morning almost all the instances were rate-limited. we opened an instance and there was this message "Instance has been rate limited. Use another instance or try again later." Arctic Foxes nitter and nitter.in.projectsegfau.lt were working without search i. e. they worked if I entered someone's handle manually into the URL

now instance front pages can be loaded but they're rate-limited if one searches for anything image

This has been fixed by https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/commit/1ac389e7c75ced1762aa9c698ca2899cde668424, the instance hosters just need to update.

Just git pulled and restarted my instance and I'm still getting searches rate limited myself. I'm running the service with the binary. https://nitter.sylentpunk.xyz

You need to wait up to 30 minutes for the rate limit to be gone.

Seems still doesn't work...

Yea, I'm still having the issue. If it means anything, twitter no longer allows people to use the search feature without signing in. Not sure if that's related.

Related for instances that haven't been updated yet, I already made a replacement https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/839

@sylentpunk you're running a very old version image

zedeus avatar Apr 22 '23 20:04 zedeus

I forgot to build it after the update.. -_- my bad I don't run the docker version just cuz I already have so many other docker stuff running.
