links that work
- x.com/name/status/…
- twitter.com/name/status/… (twitter links are saved as x posts, and old twitter posts in your library are renamed to x)
save one post
- in x, open the post and tap the share icon under it.
- choose share via… and pick postpalm, or choose copy link and paste it with add link.
- if the post has both words and media, postpalm asks how you want it saved (below).
whole post or just the media
when a post has both words and photos or a video, the share card asks how should it look?:
- save the whole post: the words, with the photos or video underneath, in a clean reading layout with the poster's picture, name and handle at the top.
- just the video (or just the photos): the media fills the card, like a photo or video post from another platform.
you can switch later from the three dots menu. a post with only words is saved as a text card. a post with only media is saved with the media.
what gets saved
- the post's words, and the poster's name, handle and profile picture.
- every photo, and videos with their sound.
- gifs: x sends gifs as short looping videos. they play silently on a loop. you can save one to your photos as a real gif.
- a quoted post inside a box, with its own photos or video.
- the poster's own thread (when they continued the post), folded behind show threaded replies.
- the card for a link in the post (its title, site and picture).
videos inside quoted posts
tap a video inside a quoted post to open it full screen. an add to home button there lets you keep it as its own post.
what is not saved
- likes, reposts and other people's replies.
- posts from protected accounts, and posts that were deleted.
troubleshooting
- the post saved as words only: the media may no longer be available. open the post on x to check.
- the poster's picture is missing: postpalm fills it in later when it can.
important
only save posts you have permission to keep, and follow x's terms of use.
