Any way to get the new Twitter links to auto convert? Instead of Twitter.com the links are generated producing a x.com link now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
So embedding is or isn’t working right now?
Seems inconsistent based on what I've been seeing. Some embedded tweets (maybe 50%) will load correctly while the rest say "this tweet is currently unavailable".
Mine say tweet unavailable. Then i click and follow the link instead. When i return to the original redcafe thread the tweets show?
Correct. It’s not embedding the new links Twitter is generating because they’ve changed the link they use. Like below for example. Normally it automatically converts it.

Ok so I tried to fix Twitter embedding to work with that new address but managed to break twitter embedding completely 
It's working again now but I'm going to leave these x.com URLs alone for the moment until I have time to look at it more closely.
Bloody Musk....

Have you thought about renaming redcafe to just R?
All the x.com links redirect to twitter.com anyway. Not ideal but just change x.com to twitter.com in the URL and it works for now. Or just open the tweet (x?) in a browser and copy/paste the URL if you're too lazy to edit it.
@Niall I was just going to suggest this
Can the swear filter not be used to autocorrect all x URLs to Twitter?
The Twitter links opening while reading a thread is driving me bonkers. Page constantly moving around when reading on phone.
I’ve been editing it to say Twitter instead but even then the embedding shows a bit strange. Doesnt show a fully expanded tweet. It’s a blank body on the tweet.
Keep getting the following when I copy / paste a tweet. Started yesterday. I’m fecking technology illiterate, how can I stop this from happening?
Just read above. Will try the Twitter.com change…
e - cool. Thanks for the post above.

Tried but it just shows the link with x.com changed to twitter.com, it doesn't embed.
That’s really weird, changing it manually works.
Must be the priority the forum software does things - so I guess it detects that it is a link first with the x.com (and not an embed as x.com isn't recognised in the media thing), it then renders it as a link and changes all references of x.com to twitter.com
Obviously manually changing it means it sees that it is a twitter.com link first and automatically embeds it as it is recognised as a media site.
Where are you guys copying the x-links from anyway? The app? The web url is still twitter.com. Even x.com redirects to twitter.com.
Now Elon is messing with sweet, innocent Niall. He's gone too far!
I was copying from my phone via the app.
Don't bother, integrate some alternatives instead.
@Niall is it possible to have “https://x.com” to auto convert to “https://twitter.com” so tweets embed properly?
When using Twitter app on iPhone. When sharing a tweet it generates an x.com link
Yep. On my Android phone, my iPad, & my laptop, it generates a Twitter.com link, only my iPhone does x.com.
And it’s real fecking annoying.
Im a narcissist. Only interested in myselfBloody Chiefs fans, read the thread
None of them are loading in for me now. Worked fine until the X changeover, then started taking 10 or so seconds to bring up the tweets and now today it's just stuck like this...
Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) date
Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) date
What's the URL of that tweet you tried to embed?
I find when you edit the link to say twitter.com instead of x.com, the tweet will show stuck and unexpanded until you refresh the page.

Yes autoloading of the facility when you first embed is broken at the moment. But it will work once you refresh.
That's assuming you're using a twitter.com URL. x.com won't work at all.

I didn't try to embed it, just wrote out how it looks on the tweets thread. It's working a bit better today though, back down to the few second wait now.
Possibly Elon pulled out the wrong wire again...
On certain tweets that get quoted there is no 'click to expand' at the bottom of the quote box so you can't see the entire tweet.
80-90% of Twitter embeds don't show up for me now. Sometimes they will show up after I reload the page, sometimes they will show up eventually on their own.
Same. It's feckin painful.
Seems worse for me today. Go into the transfer tweet thread and get pages of tweets that won't load. Is there anything I need to do to be able to see them? It'll be a nightmare closer to the transfer deadline 
Elon has really nailed this running a social media company thing.
His brain autocompleted it to "running it into the ground". Common mistake.
Tweets not even showing for me on android.
