I found a decent safari extension for iOS for redirecting links to privacy focused frontends: Privacy Redirect

If you’re self-hosting a private instance that’s not secure you’ll need to put http:// at the start of the URLs specifically.

    Rules can be updated dynamically using updateDynamicRules.

    I wrote an extension that implements declarativeNetRequest redirects to private front ends just using a static hardcoded list. It only took a couple of hours. I’m using it on MacOS and iOS. I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that would take significant investment from the developer, I just don’t think they have any plans or motivation to make it more private than the current implementation.

      I think you’re assuming a lot of the developer. It’s just one person, and selling this for a few bucks clearly isn’t their day job. The entitlement of some people on github is real. Like, why not help the dev out, submit a pull request? Instead of whining that they won’t ever implement something.

      Edit: Before you tell me to put my money where my mouth is, before I made this post I submitted a pull request to this repo. Wanted to be able to set my invidious instance with yattee:// at the start so it would automatically open them in app instead. Actually found an issue with someone else requesting the same feature and linked the PR to it.
