There should be a way to add custom URL's through env variables.

@StevenAlexander44
As far as I understand these are the possible redirects:

# Site alternative configurations, uncomment to enable
# Note: If not set, the feature will still be available
# with default values.
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_TW=farside.link/nitter
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_YT=farside.link/invidious
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_RD=farside.link/libreddit
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_MD=farside.link/scribe
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_TL=farside.link/lingva
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_IMG=farside.link/rimgo
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_WIKI=farside.link/wikiless
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_IMDB=farside.link/libremdb
#Environment=WHOOGLE_ALT_QUORA=farside.link/quetre

I don't see a way to add custom URL redirects.

Sorry, I meant: "I hope someone adds a way to make custom redirects"

There are plenty of useful redirects that they could add. This feature needs to be more scalable, as more and more frontends emerge.

@0x09AF Thanks for the suggestion, I'll likely add Anonymous Overflow to Farside shortly.

For redirecting Stack Overflow links, as @StevenAlexander44 pointed out, the current implementation isn't terribly scalable with new frontends being released. Instead I implemented a new environment variable, WHOOGLE_REDIRECTS, that can be used to define one or many redirects to instances of your choosing. It's documented in the readme, but here's an example for your use case:

WHOOGLE_REDIRECTS="stackoverflow.com:code.whatever.social" # or whichever instance you prefer

This supports multiple redirects using comma separation as well, such as:

WHOOGLE_REDIRECTS="stackoverflow.com:code.whatever.social,oldsite.com:newsite.com,..."

Read the committed README- looks like a good enough implementation

EDIT: Oh wow, didn't realize you're responsible for farside, cool
