Funny how we'll keep embedding Tweets on here even with Musk doing all he can to prevent us.. I wish some dev came up with a dual solution for Tweets in Substack and a social preview for Substack in Tweets? Is Musk smarter than all the devs on Substack?
I'm in the process of switching over to Substack from Beehiiv and just discovered this issue with not being able to automatically embed tweets. Thanks for the workaround!
Hopefully this silliness doesn't continue for much longer, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I've been doing this for my Instagram posts too because when I embed an Instagram post the top of the post links to 'author' which is an actual Instagram user - I don't know how to get around that so I do the link in screenshot trick.

This is gold. Thank you <3 !
Nicely done. Good tip
figured out a way to embed a Substack link in a Tweet? :)
haha no, but I wish! Some other writers are suggesting you make an image of your Substack URL. Not v elegant...

Wow, a Beehiiv refugee! I'm curious, what made you want to switch to Substack, Anfernee?
reducing expenses. And also find the community functions of Substack are better from some of the newsletters I'm subscribed to.
Thanks for the insights, Substack's community features are amazing!
Thank you so much - have been wondering how to do this!!
Thank you!
Was JUST struggling with this, trying to figure out why my "simply past the relevant URL" was not working! Thanks!

Thanks for this, Karen!
THANK U
how do you embed youtube videos without downloading the youtube?
Hi Tori, just paste the link to the youtube video into a new line in your post. The video will appear automatically.
