Twitter is blocking #Substack articles from being posted or retweeted. Some sites are saying it's because of a change to the API, others because substack is a competitor. Either way here is a thread of methods I found that will bypass this. 🧵#substackban
Background: So it looks like as of now you can't link directly to substack, or even use a link shortener to resolve the link. They are blocking 302 redirects, so even if you use a custom domain and redirect to your substack, that link will be blocked as well.
For now, we need a way to redirect to our substack without having to use a 302 redirect. The first method is using Google Translate. This will load your substack within translate. Go to the Websites tab and copy the link that is generated. Example:https://anarchosolarpunk-substack-com.translate.goog/p/goodlife?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Another option is to run the link through something like The Internet Archive / The Wayback Machine. This will load your site within their snapshot and allow a user on twitter to still visit your substack. Example: https://web.archive.org/web/20230325020249/https://anarchosolarpunk.substack.com/p/offgridinternet
