Behold, gentle reader, the perplexity that plagues Discord users in our digital age. Verily, one may find oneself attempting to embed links from diverse realms such as YouTube, Reddit, and the once-known Twitter, now referred to as X. Alas, a grievance has emerged – the noble tweets of X, when shared on Discord, doth not manifest as embeds, but merely as links bereft of preview. Should you find yourself in this quandary, fear not, for we shall delve into methods that may remedy this affliction.
Method 1: A Tweak in the Link’s Fabric
The initial approach beckons you to make subtle modifications to the Tweet URL afore sharing it on Discord. This remedy hails from the FixTweet initiative on GitHub, enabling the embedding of Tweets, images, videos, polls, quotes, and various media from Twitter. Thus, imbue your Twitter post with the prefix "fx" or "vx" after pasting the link, such as:
Replace https://twitter.com/username/status with https://fxtwitter.com/username/status
Likewise, for X links, employ "fixup" as a prefix post-pasting, as illustrated below:
Replace https://x.com/username/status with https://fixupx.com/username/status
These methods hold sway on both the Discord desktop and mobile app, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms.
Method 2: Enabling the Veil of Embeds and Previews
A hindrance to reveling in the previews of tweets (X posts) may stem from the disablement of embed and link preview options on thy Discord account. Verily, when these options lie dormant, only shared links shall meet thine gaze. By rekindling these options, thou shalt behold all embedded treasures within the app.
To Enable Embed and Previews on Mobile:
- Venture unto the Discord app and tap the "You tab" at the nether right corner.
- Behold the "settings icon" awaiting thy touch at the zenith right.
Mayhaps you are on the desktop, in which case, fret not, and simply:
- Unveil Discord and click the "Settings icon" from the abyss.
- Traverse unto the "Text & Images" tab beneath "App Settings."
- Engage the "Show embed and preview website links pasted into chat" toggle.
When these toggles dance with life, return to the chat to witness the wondrous embeds and previews unfurled before thee.
Method 3: Clearing the Cache and Updating the App
If the former stratagems have not borne fruit, consider these general troubleshoots to cast away any lingering bugs or glitches that obstruct Discord’s capacity to embed links from X/Twitter. Prithee, undertake the following actions:
- Clear the app cache
- Update the app to its latest incarnation
- Engage the ancient arts of uninstalling and reinstalling the app on thy device.
With these incantations echoed, mayhaps the vexations and tribulations that thwart thy path shall dissipate, allowing the noble Twitter embeds to grace thy Discord once more.
Thus concludes our discourse on rectifying the quandary of non-embedding tweets, plaguing the souls of users amidst the digital realms of X and Discord. ‘Tis a grievance that hath stirred frustration in many since the changes in the lands of X and Discord. Yet, with hope and guidance, may this treatise aid thee in witnessing the resplendent Twitter embeds upon Discord’s tapestry once more.
