Wow, all of the public #ProxiTok instances seem to be down. :(

Fortunately, (a) I rarely need to visit #tiktok urls (ugh), and (b) yt-dlp still works.

It's a bummer, though. People need #privacy-respecting front-ends.

@rl_dane

Its Not an ideal solution but i recently realized peertube (which uses ytdlp) can also import tiktok feeds. If you have specific creators you want to follow on tiktok you can follow them on peertube instead.

@gravitas

In my case, it's mostly just viewing occasional tiktoks that people send me links to, so just doing a one-off yt-dlp is fine for that. ;)
