Quote tweets

When a tweet quotes another, both are shown. The quoting tweet appears first with the quoted post below it.

Reply chains

When a tweet is a reply, the post being replied to is shown below the reply.

Articles

Twitter Articles are embedded with the article's cover image and preview text.

Use source_only on quote tweets or reply chains to show only the linked tweet without the surrounding context.
