[Question] Is there a way to use a twitter acc in combination with nitter (or an alternative twitter front end using your twitter login)

[back-lacking]

what the question says
wondering if there is a way to use nitter with a twitter account? i have an account i dont care about and would like to use that to view the occasional tweet using the front end. ik that using an twitter acc to look at tweets using nitter defeats the point of nitter existing
if there isnt, is there an alternative service or nitter fork that allows this?

Yes, there is a way. Actually, that's the only way left to use Nitter.

I recently learned that that's exact how https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter is able to continue to functioning these days. It's also how they have been able to display age-restricted content.

@pin-grid-array i see. Can i know how this is done?

@back-lacking I actually don't know how. I'm just a former ordinary Nitter user and it's beyond my expertise. Ask in that fork.

A while ago I collected various instructions from people who tried setting up their own instance using a Twitter account, but I don't know if any of that still applies.

(I just noticed that there are a bunch of typos in my previous reply to you. Sorry about that!)
