Update!. I found the post, and it still doesn't show the proper links, even when I go to edit! Now, I have to open Accessible Youtube Downloader, search for the videos, copy the links, then paste them in! This is ridiculous! Oh, and while I'm at it, there should be a way to view only original posts that I write, not boosts or replies. But this is similar to seeing things out of context in my timeline and not as normal posts with comments only after I click on them. This holds for both Friendica and Tweesecake, as well as any other clients I may use.
I am extremely annoyed. I wanted to copy a post of mine from here to Dreamwidth. Normally, this would just involve a simple copy/paste. I went to Friendica, searched for a tag that I know isn't used often but that I used for the entry, and began copying. But instead of finding the Youtube link that I posted, I found a shortened version that didn't even work when i tried it! Now, I must go back to Tweesecake, go through all of my posts for the last week, find the one in question, and go to "edit" to get the real link! That, or go to Youtube and search for the items. This isn't right. What I post should be what is seen. There should also be an easier way to search for posts, both on Friendica and on Tweesecake. If there is a way to search for a post via quotes and/or date, and I simply don't know it, I apologise.
