This has to do with tweets that don't show on DU (resolved)

Last edited Fri Aug 5, 2022, 08:06 AM - Edit history (1)

This morning I tried to post a tweet from Sarah Cooper and it only displayed on DU (preview post) as a link. I haven't noticed this with many other tweets I have posted in recent times. So I assume it has something to do with the source tweet, not my computer. Perhaps someone who knows more about twitter could explain this. I will research it too in the meantime.

updated:
So I went to look for that tweet, the one that wouldn't show up and led me to post this, and I couldn't find it. Its been several hours. I must assume was a deleted tweet when I first saw it. Meaning that - it takes time for deleted tweets to get flushed from the inner tubes.

Try a different browser and see if that makes a difference.

If you are posting from your smartphone make sure both the Twitter app and your browser app are up to date. If not then try updating them both and try again. Best of luck! ❤ pants

Mine shows up as a link, but a 20 seconds later, it displays properly.
