Greetings!

This is the monthly "Open Discussion" thread, where you're free to ask questions, start a discussion, promote your Twitter account, give ideas on how to improve this subreddit, or provide feedback on how this subreddit is moderated.

This thread is for your support questions, discussions, self-promotion, subreddit feedback, or anything else.

IF YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT UN/SUSPENDED, LOCKED OR AGE-LOCKED ACCOUNTS (PROBLEMS & QUESTIONS), THIS IS TO BE DONE IN THIS THREAD ONLY.

Stand-alone threads about Twitter Account Suspensions or Twitter Account Locks are unwelcome anywhere else in this subreddit. They *Will Be Removed* and Locked.

If you're looking for more guidance on How To Get Your Suspended Account Back, read here.

Don't forget to read our FAQ, and if you have information to add to it or something that needs updating, please feel free to make those changes!

While r/Twitter aims to be a community to help other Twitter users solve problems with the service, this also isn't the ideal place to ask support questions.

Support questions are preferably asked in this "Open Discussion" thread. If you've posted a thread asking for help and no one has responded, you may have better luck asking your question here instead.

If you do have a functional (meaning: not locked or suspended) Twitter account, it can't hurt to let @ TwitterSupport know of your problem directly on Twitter dot com.

If you are looking to promote your Twitter account to others, ask for followers, or any type of self-promotion, you can do so in this thread only.

The volunteer moderators who guide the direction of this subreddit rely upon the feedback of the community in order to make it a more perfect place on Reddit.

Feel free to give that feedback in this thread, or if you'd prefer to give your feedback in private, [send a private message to the subreddit modmail.

If for some unholy reason you need to see past open discussion threads, they are available here

Question Slightly suggestive posts getting shadowbanned?

0 Upvotes

Over the past couple months I've noticed that some posts from artists/cosplayers/models do very poorly compared to what they usually get on their posts and it didn't make sense. I've noticed this myself as well with my own art. Usually my art is pretty safe and casual, which is when it gets really good reach. But sometimes there's a bit of cleavage which has a drastic effect on reach. I find this weird because up until 3-4 months ago, this was never an issue.

I recently found out a way to check which posts get affected. You take a link from a post and open it logged out/incognito. If it says "Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else." instead of showing you the post, that means it got affected. I've noticed that for my posts that don't get this popup, they do really well. But for the posts that do, the reach drastically decreases.

I've kept an eye on this for some time now and something else worth mentioning is that sometimes it takes a while for a post to get flagged. For example, I had this one post that was blowing up. I was checking it every hour or so. It was doing really well. But then after 8/9 hours it had the "Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else." when I checked in incognito. And exactly from that point, reach pretty much completely stopped.

I'm just wondering if there's anything that can be done about it. I see so many people affected by this, but there's just no one talking about it. At least nothing I can find. Would it help if I labeled my posts that are slightly suggestive appropriately? I know there's an option for it when posting, but I'm always scared that that'd reduce reach drastically as well.

Bug Report Feed loads, but nothing else

4 Upvotes

Been having this issue for months now. I'll load up Twitter/X and I can scroll forever just fine but if I open a post, I can't see the comments. I can't like or bookmark anything either. I can I have notifications, but they don't load so I can't see what I'm being notified about. I close the app and in 1-2 hours it's back to normal.

This is happening only on the mobile app for me, the PC version works fine.

Bug Report View post activity?

I'm posting for my buddy while he's on vacation for his business. The view post activity comes up with retry?

And shows nothing. No views, impressions, etc.

Anyone else with that problem?

Question twitter.com not working anymore?

3 Upvotes

Until today I always could force this website to be twitter.com if I typed it into address bar in my browser, which worked fine - normal name, normal address and no annoying ads in the feed every 5 tweets. However today this stopped working, and now it just always redirects to this new atrocity. I tried cleaning cookies and checked if redirects for the page were blocked in browser - still to no avail. Is there any way to bring it back?

Question Private profile, audience, mentions

Post image
1 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been asked already, but I don't seem to find convincing answers that do not contradict each other. I seriously cannot wrap my head around how Twitter handles privacy.

I set my profile to private, but for some reason the app still lets me have control over my audience. Is that expected? Or should I understand "Everyone that follow me", "Verified accounts that follow me", etc.?

Also, I posted a tweet mentioning a public account. Will they/people be able to see my tweet? Analytics seem to tell so, but that could also be my own views on my tweet. Thanks.

Question How do I see only medias in Twitter?

3 Upvotes

I want to see only videos posted on Twitter. I can go to media tab of a profile to see medias but I want to do this on my home feed or on a list. Basically I want to see medias from mutliple people in a single screen. Is there way to do that? I tried with some complex search query but failed

Question Dumb question should I reply to all comments?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m fairly new to x, and I posted some art that blew up quite a bit. I’ve been replying with thanks to everyone who’s commented, but I’m worried it might show up too often on the timeline, I don’t want to annoy anyone or come across as spamming. As a new artist I really appreciate all the compliments and just want to express my gratitude😣

I tweet about 4-5 times a day. And I’ve been a little more active. I have a full-time job, so this is just extra cash on the side. I pay 16/month for the subscription, but I made $668.15 from literally just tweeting. This is easy money lol

Question No one can see tweets on my profile

1 Upvotes

A lot of my friends have been messaging me saying they cannot see my tweets unless they are actively on the TL at the same time as me. When they go to my profile, it says my tweets aren’t loading like my page is suspended or something but everything else is normal. Is anyone else having this issue? Is my account restricted?


r/Twitter 1d ago

Bug Report Anybody else having the site just infinitely reloading? Like it reloads and there is a message that says, "Something went wrong, but don't fret- it's not your fault."

10 Upvotes

I have that exact problem. On my laptop, I was trying to get on X, went it says "Seems like you have lost connectivity. We will keep trying." "Ah! No problems. Maybe my PC won't have problems!" How hopeful I was... When I get on this POS machine, same problem. App seems to work, although on Chrome and Samsung Internet, same issue as PC.

COMPLAINTS I'm getting recommendations for posts from blocked accounts in my email

1 Upvotes

I haven't used Twitter in months because of how disgustingly transphobic it had become. Held onto a barren account tied to a rarely used email in case I needed to access the site for some reason. Today, I was looking for an email and checked that email account in case it got sent there and found countless emails from Twitter instead. They were recommending me posts from the all the transphobic accounts I had blocked.
