Option to include tweet URL when posting from Twitter to Mastodon #19
Comments
|
Would you prefer that the option enabled the URL in all tweets or only in polls? |
|
@renatolond I think it would make sense to be enable it only for polls.
|
|
I think I would prefer it only in polls. It's the only thing I can think of where Twitter shows something that Mastodon can't copy. |
|
Yeah, me too, but I was just checking :) |
|
Thank you! :) |
|
I have bad news :( |
|
Oh no, that's sad! Thank you for trying. When I post a poll on Twitter and it gets cross-posted to Mastodon, I've been replying to the post on Mastodon with a link to the Twitter poll tweet, so it's not so bad really. |
|
I could still try to create an option to always post the tweet link, but since I cannot tell them apart it would always be there for "normal" tweets (not an RT, reply or quote) |
|
I think if that was an option I would probably just keep doing things the way I'm doing them now - I do polls much less often than normal tweets, and my normal tweets don't need URLs when crossposting. |
|
Just remembered something I saw in Tweetdeck once and tested it - somehow they have a way of detecting polls, even though they can't post them fully.
I have no idea if whatever they do is possible with this crossposter, but I thought I'd mention it because it seems relevant and it might help? :S |
|
The thing is that I don't know if tweetdeck uses the public api, considering they are from twitter. The enterprise api (basically, premium api) has information about polls: So I think they might be using that one for tweetdeck, which would give them access to the poll information. |

@renatolond Ohhhh that makes sense! Damnit. :( |

For the Twitter --> Mastodon option, would you consider adding an "include URL of original tweet" setting? Maybe just on tweets that have polls in them?
I post a lot of Twitter polls, which can cause confusion on Mastodon, and I think it would help for people on Mastodon to be able to click to open the Twitter poll!
