Stupid question
How do I place a tweet in a post? I used to be able to just copy & paste the url into the body of the post and it would show up, but that's not the case anymore.
Any suggestions?
You have to replace the x in the url with twitter.
the x . com doesn't seem to embed, but replacing it with twitter . com and it will usually work. Except when it doesn't.

I keep reading this from some, I do exactly the same thing with no problems. Weird. I just copy and paste the link and boom.

Weird. It automatically comes up with twitter in the url, but same thing. No post.

I never had issues until recently.
It's always been bizarrely difficult for me but yeah lately I can't get it to work at all. Not on mobile (Chrome for iphone), not on laptop (Firefox for Mac). Shrug

Ok, well like I said, except when it doesn't. Twitter embedding is always hit and miss for me. the X thing is one little part that usually helps.
The "X thing" resolved my issues posting the link...
Twitter has been moving to monetize posting and has made it difficult to do as of late. The changeover started about 6 months ago. That's why many board twitter feeds went away.

Check your browser's add blocker, extensions or settings, sometimes it just happens with "things". I keep a "virgin" browser like MS edge and just copy the url when I can't see or post in firefox, to check for those conditions. X\twitter has given me the most issues

Edge doesn't feel very "virgin" IMO.
The amount of ads makes it feel quite the opposite.

I use no extensions or add blockers, just the default settings. Just use it to compare when I have issues. And I share your de-flowered opinion on Edge, it's definitely F'd

I use Safari and have no extensions, ad blockers, etc. It seems to just be one of those things.

I use safari too...Use the copy link from X (do not cc from the address bar up top).
Paste into thread you want and simply change the X to twitter in your pasted link.
