Rss-bridge: How to find new instances of Rss-bridge? Instagram on Yggz.org bridge is down.

It's all in the title, here is Yggz brige.
Thanks for your help :)

Enabled instagram bridge on https://feed.eugenemolotov.ru/
But still interested in question. Is there something like list of public rss-bridges?

[LogMANOriginal]

Good point, thanks for bringing it up!

There is currently no such thing as a list of available RSS-Bridge instances. I suppose most people do have their own instance hosted privately (like I do).

There are a few instances you can find via your favorite search engine, though quite a few of those instances are heavily modified (inject ads or iframes, alter content, etc...) so choose wisely.

That being said, if you'd like to share your own instance the best way to do that is via the Wiki. Maybe add a new page for Public hosts to the Home section?

Please be aware that a public instance could get hammered with requests if many people make use of it (like a few hundred requests per minute for average use). If you are using paid services this can get very expensive if they charge by bandwidth!

Hello!

I'm Yggz.org admin, and yes I can confirm insta is down....
And I cannot let you use it.... I add an email from my provider this weekend, and you are using waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy too much this bridge (you or other people, I didn't check!), that's why I deactivated it! too many php request for me.
Yggz.org is a personnal website, and my bridge are for my personnal use. It doesn't have the bandwidth to allow other people to user it....
And I don't have the money (nor the use) to pay for a better server.

So I'll guess you'll have to find another instance, or better : Install your own!

But that raise another question : How to limit request on RSS-Bridge....

Hi @Kourai, I'm following almost 40 instagram accounts with HD pictures and all, I'm sorry that @LogMANOriginal's warning did got true for you.

Does it mean that I'll hammer @em92's instance if I continue using it?

I chose Rss-Bridge (over Websta's RSS feed or a service like Queryfeed) in order for HD pictures to be readily available (I like to download pictures), but if this comes with a too high cost for the generous people providing the service I will look for an other way.

[Kourai]

I understand! I also follow quite a few accounts! ;)

You should get your own server : there are very cheap offer for shared host nowadays....
I know my provider's cheapest offer is less than 1€/month and rss-bridge is reaaaaaally easy to install even if you don't have any development/coding skills!

by the way @lboullu can you let me know once you remove your subscription to my instagram-bridge, so I can re-activate it for me ? thanks!

[lboullu]

@Kourai: I removed all my subscriptions as far as I know, so you should be good :)

[em92]

@lboullu, my bridge is deployed on vps with no traffic limit. So I don't think you will hammer it using your feeder.

Maybe add a new page for Public hosts to the Home section?
