Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/692

Hi,

Is it possible to implement an array of multiple social media alternative sites? With that feature, we don't rely on one instance, and every time a user search, it randomly selects alternative social media.

farside.link is an option and it is used by whoogle.

I wonder, so if I don't specify the environment config: WHOOGLE_ALT_WIKI, WHOOGLE_ALT_IMG, etc… it will automatically randomize the selection of alternative SM links? As long as the environment config WHOOGLE_CONFIG_ALTS is set to 1, am I correct?

You need to set the environment variables like WHOOGLE_ALT_WIKI=farside.link/wikiless, WHOOGLE_ALT_IMG=farside.link/imgin, etc. (services that farside supports) and you should also set WHOOGLE_CONFIG_ALTS to 1.

By default, if you enable WHOOGLE_CONFIG_ALTS it will use Farside for all alternative frontends, no need to specify farside.link/<service> for each WHOOGLE_ALT_<SERVICE> var. Those variables should only actually be used if you only want to consistently visit one instance each time.

Closing for now since I think that answers your question, but feel free to reopen if I'm mistaken!
