When I post a direct twitter/x link in my forum it is not correctly unfurling. When I post the exact same link here on the discourse forum it is working.
My installed version: 3.6.0.beta1-dev (7c34595144)
Correctly Unfurled Example on discourse.org forums

Have you followed the steps in Configuring Twitter login and rich embeds for Discourse?
I have NOT. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
I followed the directions to create a twitter consumer ID and secret (from the developers.x.com portal) using the “free” tier.
When I use these generated values and add them in the discourse settings as shown below I am still getting the same incorrectly unfurled twitter post as described in my original post.
Note that my discourse instance is a self-hosted on an AWS EC2 instance.
I think that’s the problem
But I agree the default experience could be improved so you don’t end up with a blank onebox when twitter settings not configured
Oh my gosh.. egg on my face. I failed to read the first paragraph of the documentation with the giant warning sign! How kind of you not to scold me!
I appreciate the prompt helpfulness provided here in the forum.
Yes, perhaps it should default to just the link if it isn’t configured.
