Intrigued by the fact that many Bibliogram/Nitter/Invidious/Piped instances are from sites that also offer other services, I set out with good will to sift through them one by one, and here are the results: (and I must say I discovered many instances that are not indexed on the “official” directories).

Obviously if I missed any I will point them out and add them.

They all have official lists of instances that can be used, which are all compiled here: https://codeberg.org/LibRedirect/libredirect/src/branch/master/src/instances/data.json

Good to know! I checked only their official Git repositories, and noticed that sometimes many instances were missing (e.g. https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram-docs/tree/master/docs/Instances.md).

By the way, I tried LibRedirect some time ago but I still prefer Privacy Redirect; perhaps I should give it another chance.

Libredirect was made because privacy redirect was unmaintained, and idk about you but using unmaintained software isnt a good idea in general

What annoyed me of LibRedirect was that it continued to open frontends even when I disabled some voices, and other "aggressive" malfunctions that I don't remember now but occurred even if reinstalled. But probably now those problems have been fixed.

I've never experienced any of these, so I'm assuming they have been fixed

Nonetheless, many instances in my research aren't listed in the source you linked 🤔

@Edo_Secco
This list is made by scraping the official list of instances for each project, so any instances not on the official lists will not be here.
