there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

Problem is that the whole concept of advertising is “telling other people what to do”.
RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community
Your post is missing the most important information that you wanted to share
GotHub seems to display basic GitHub stuff decently well.
https://gh.whateveritworks.org/
so this is similar to LibRedirect?
https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
https://libredirect.github.io/
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in Predirect
Also, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances.
Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/instances/main/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/farside/master/services-full.json
Both LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well.
Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can “subscribe” to that list.
Also some useful links:

sup dawg, head you like announcements, so we announced our announcement in our latest announcement
ZP ran for a very long time. At this point I am not even mad that it ends.
someone go check what are some longest running web series and where does ZP stand on that list
a cover of U2 - Elevation called Federation someone come up with the lyrics and proper instrumental cover so that we don’t trip copyright
gotta fail fast
I think that starting from the beginning on Lemmy is a great opportunity to make news communities make more sense.
Specifically, !worldnews should not exist.
It is a relic from Reddit that implies that !news is not for all news but just for news from some part of the world.
In my opinion, there should be effort put into making this community as inactive as possible. As that would be the result of people posting news from all over the world in !news.
this is just one of the instances
there are many more instances according to https://farside.link/ (which is a thing that will automatically redirect you to one of them: https://farside.link/teddit/ )
so by using this, you help reduce the load on individual instance, resulting in less “too many requests” errors for everyone.
This article makes it look like EU CVP defines “metaverse” as “lol connected stuff I guess” and not as “VRChat by Zucc”.
Which is good.
Still, I wonder if they will take (and contribute to) ThirdRoom or Mozilla Hubs instead of reinventing the wheel when they come to the VR part of their plan.
or, even better, get Lemmy to integrate this functionality and let users opt-in.
if I recall correctly, I have seen some Lemmy instance that made Youtube videos embed through the usage of farside.link
actually, each Lemmy instance could double as a Farside instance, so that whole network doesn’t pressure (and rely on) developer’s instance
having something like this would be very awesome
well, first thing would be to open a feature request in Lemmy’s issue tracker and start the debate about what is the best way to implement this
this proxy does not seem to be working for me
but then again, the LibRedirect extension automatically sent me to this site, where I was able to read the article just fine:
https://scribe.rip/@doctorow/let-the-platforms-burn-6fb3e6c0d980
there is FunkWhale
not sure how it compares to SoundCloud, but it is certainly some sort of successor to GrooveShark
I expected the link to point to IP over Avian Carriers
The link at “Lemmy has almost 20 pull requests on Github.²” points to kbin repo PRs instead of the intended Lemmy repo PRs.
also why the ² notation mark? at the bottom of the article, there is only one note, there does not appear to be the second one that this notation mark is supposed to be pointing to.
Will it have any fallback systems so that it remains playable even when servers go down?
if not, it is another candidate for stopkillinggames.com
