Reply to retweets no longer working?

Post by LuckyLuke »

Previously, when I unchecked the "original tweets only (uncheck include retweets)" the function simply worked, an account retweets something and my bot will reply to that retweet, now these days it doesnt work anymore with the search and reply function. Any idea why OriginalTweetsOnly":false, gets ignored? My bot only able to reply to the actual user post but no retweets anymore like it used to.

Get account attempt :0
Select account: Mybot
Ignore reply: 1662xxxxxx84 https://twitter.com/ACCOUNT/status/1662xxxxxx84

so for example. search and reply - UserID/latest tweet OR UserID/user tweets including retweet > Original Tweets only = FALSE - this tweet above is the one I want but it keeps being ignored and my bot wont reply to it, this is a retweet I need to reply to and my bots used to be able to do it before, have not used this function in a while but now it doesnt work anymore.

another example

main post thread https://twitter.com/utdscope/status/1662876337760075777
last post in the thread by the creator is https://twitter.com/utdscope/status/1662880301872193537

it's a thread, several posts, I want my bot to be able to COMMENT on all or some of those thread posts at least because the users I follow, they usually have one lets say post from 2022 and they add replies to it creating a thread over time, each time they add a post to that thread I want my bot be able to comment on it.

All I get is original post and follow on all have the ignore reply message.

I did the user tweet including retweets option but the bot simply ignores ALL thread post and only focuses on the opening post even if original tweets is unchecked, I used to be able to reply to all posts this way but no longer now.

twitter must have changed how things work and I haven't realised. Let me check if this can be set in the search, or perhaps it needs a new specific filter check

ok, I think I see the issue.

The FILTER is old and should not offer those options, you need to perform the specific search

UESRFEED WITH RETWEET

retweets won't be included with the USERFEED step, so setting the filter "include retweets" is pointless as no retweets will be included
