pull down to refresh

As someone without Twitter, I would really settle for some button somewhere that I can click for nitter. I don't care where. Typically I go to the comments to see if someone posted it first.

Twitter users really don't understand how login walled twitter is for those without account. If I'm lucky the tweet loads. If I touch the screen at all or the scroll wheel, I get hit with login wall.

Same. However, in the event SN doesn't want to implement this feature I would suggest checking out a "Privacy Redirect" extension for Chrome/Firefox that will leverage Nitter (and other read-only platforms for other social media sites)

Or an account preference you can toggle within SN

This is the reply I was just about to leave as well! In Settings.

But I still like the Twitter embed, especially for videos, so that I am not leaving SN just to see the contents of the Tweet. It's only on the threads (and thus launching to a new tab) where I prefer to use Nitter.

So maybe even if I have the Setting for auto convert to Nitter left off (disabled), I can still get the Nitter for it. So for Posts that are Tweets, it remains the Tweet showing the Embed but there's also a launcher link/icon for the Nitter for that Tweet, so I can see the Tweet and thread in Nitter.

In the comments, same thing ... next to the Twitter link, automatically show a link/icon for the Nitter for that Tweet.

Good idea!
