this proxy does not seem to be working for me
but then again, the LibRedirect extension automatically sent me to this site, where I was able to read the article just fine:

Thanks. There has to be a bot for this on one of the instances.
or, even better, get Lemmy to integrate this functionality and let users opt-in.
if I recall correctly, I have seen some Lemmy instance that made Youtube videos embed through the usage of farside.link
actually, each Lemmy instance could double as a Farside instance, so that whole network doesn't pressure (and rely on) developer's instance
having something like this would be very awesome
well, first thing would be to open a feature request in Lemmy's issue tracker and start the debate about what is the best way to implement this
Yes that would be great.
Thank you was great article and I hate paywalls.
