Hello frogs, old and new.
I just wanted to post this as an aid to anybody who is perhaps not the most tech-savvy type of person.
If you're going to post a twitter thread, PLEASE, also post the nitter version. Reason being that with twitter now a closed forum, posting the link only allows us to see the main post and none of the comments or follow up posts. This is how you post a nitter version of the tweet.
Here's the recently posted twitter / x post made by MAGULQ.

Here is the nitter version, allowing us to see follow ups to the post.

In order to do this, it's very simple. See where it says twitter.com in the original post? Simply remove that and replace it with nitter.net. Et voila! You have a version that allows more of the thread to be shown.
Also, if you're reading through the posts and see something you like, please leave a thumbs up by clicking on the upward triangle to the left of the post.
If you want to speak to someone directly, you can click on their user name. Doing so will take you to their info page. At the right of the page is a box that says "About XOXOXO" At the bottom of the box you'll see a link that says, "DM XOXOXO"
You can also look through their post history at this page, see what their post scores are, etc.
If you want to send a message to the mods, scroll to the bottom of the page, look at the right corner of the screen and find the box that lists all the moderators names. In that box is a link to 'message the mods.'
If you want to search a topic and can't remember a specific post title, put the key word in the search box and you should get a plethora of results.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. If this doesn't get removed for being off topic, I might add to it later if I remember something else.
Knowing these few things makes the site more fun to use. Hope it helps!
Edited to add: If you want to draw another frog's attention to a post, you can leave a link in the post to their name, that way they'll be alerted the next time they are on line. For example; u/gobby
I didn't know how to do the nitter link. Thought it was way above my abilities. Thank you for the instruction.
You're welcome. As you can see, it's very easy to do and so very helpful. I see tons of twitter posts here with no nitter versions so I figured a lot of people don't know how to do it. I'm glad you found it helpful, Becky.
This is good advice with help getting there ! I am one of the beneficiaries of this order. Thanks to all that use this framework.
Also, replace youtu.be/~ with https://yewtu.be/~. Same result, but your ip isn't going into the meat grinder
