Now that Xitter has changed its URL...

Posts with links to the platform no longer show the little blue indicator in thread titles on the Latest page.

Maybe there's a fix for that somewhere in the works?

1. I have been manually changing the x.com to Twitter.com in the links

This has been working for me

2. x.com links do not work for embedding, however,

twitter.com links still work fine for it, the same as they always have on DU. When embedding a tweet in your post, all you need is the link to the tweet, then just replace x.com with twitter.com and it should work (at least until they turn the embedding feature off I guess).

Here's a demonstration, I'll paste the x.com and twitter.com links to the same tweet:

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

The twitter.com URL renders as a tweet, the x.com URL does not.

4. Thanks...

I don't use the platform but I did notice that the new url links were minus the blue thingy warning me that there might be nothing to the OP but a link. I find those annoying and would not open them if I knew that's all there was. I refuse to open those.

Thanks again, though.
