Nitter.poast.org not updating again

The RSS feed of https://nitter.poast.org, which had been working until recently, stopped being accessible about four days ago.

When I access the feed URL in a browser, it prompts to download a file named “rss.” Upon opening the downloaded file in a text editor, it turns out to be an XML file. So I suspect that BazQux is probably being blocked.

I’m not sure whether the issue lies with Nitter or BazQux, but do you have any suggestions for resolving this?

I see “HTTP 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” in the logs.

I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do here, try contacting the site owner.

When I enter an RSS url directly into a browser, for example
https://nitter.poast.org/Publix/rss
it works fine. Could they be blocking your specific addresses?

When the URL even goes through this comment it gets a 503 in your preview.

I remember you had to interact directly with them a while ago.

When I enter the URL in a browser I see a splash screen with a big N and a few seconds later I see the XML. The problem is their RSS feed is not behaving correctly. FWIW the feed cannot be added to other aggregators either.

I tried a few aggregators , and with the Firefox add-on Feedbro, I was able to fetch the feed as expected. However, it only offers basic functionality and doesn’t support unread management.
