Do Nitter forks exist? (yiffit.net)

I am not a fan of Twitter, but sometimes I would like to visit a Twitter profile, unfortunately due to Twitter restrictions it is currently not possible to view anything without an account, and clearly I am not going to create a Twitter account for that, are there any forks in development that are trying to solve these Twitter problems? I remember reading about a fork that uses fake accounts to access the API, but I don't know if this fork is still in development or if there are others.

At least Gibson also posts on Mastodon from time to time, which can't be said about most of the others. There are some working proxies like bird.makeup but the feeds aren't updated immediately. The federated Threads accounts are probably the next best.
