Hi, thank you for creating this tool!

Contrary to the teddit README's claim of "No JavaScript or ads", I've noticed that a particular teddit instance (https://teddit.nautolan.racing/) is hitting JS resources that seems to be involved in advertisement and tracking. For instance:

These are the network requests my browser makes when going to http://ww38.teddit.nautolan.racing/ (which I was redirected to by farside):

As a result of blocking these requests, I'm left with a blank page, in which case I'll typically manually go to teddit.net instead.

I'm wondering if this instance should be removed from the services list?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for pointing this out!

Teddit instances are actually auto populated for Farside during the nightly build using this list, so I think the best approach would be to raise an issue with the Teddit devs to get that instance re-evaluated.

Hm, looks like that instance was removed from teddit a couple weeks ago, but farside is still redirecting to it. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah there's been an issue with the nightly instance update process that I haven't had a chance to fix yet. That teddit instance has been manually removed now, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
