Social post block

What is the Social post block for?

Bring in the original post when the source itself matters. The Social post block displays a public Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter or LinkedIn post directly on the page. It can work well for event recaps, campaign examples, partner mentions or social content used as a source.

The block depends on an external platform, so the main message should still make sense if the embed is unavailable.

Use a public, permanent post URL. Private, deleted or unsupported posts cannot be embedded reliably. If Demona cannot recognise the source, it falls back to a safe external-link presentation rather than leaving a blank space.

Supported social sources

Leave platform detection on automatic, or choose the platform manually when needed.

Facebook

Embeds a public Facebook post from its permanent URL using the platform's supported display.

Instagram

Works best with the permanent URL of a public Instagram post.

X / Twitter

A twitter.com or x.com post URL is rendered using X's official widget.

LinkedIn

For public LinkedIn posts, the block converts the URL to a supported embeddable form when possible.

A small piece of internet history

Jack Dorsey (@jack), 21 March 2006 — Twitter's first tweet, from the early “Twttr” era.

Kevin Systrom (@kevin), 16 July 2010 — Instagram's first photo, before the public launch.

What can you configure in the Social post block?

The post itself comes from the external platform, while you control source detection and the surrounding presentation.

Post URL

Use the permanent URL of one specific public post. The block is not a profile or feed aggregator.

Provider

Automatic mode detects the platform from the URL domain. You can also choose Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter or LinkedIn manually.

Alignment

Align the embed left, centre or right. The embedded content is limited to roughly 540 px wide.

Caption

Briefly explain why the post is relevant to the story on the page.

Unknown URL

For unsupported or unrecognised sources, the block falls back to an external-link card.

External dependency

Availability and appearance partly depend on the social platform, so do not place essential information only inside the embed.

BRING IN THE ORIGINAL SOURCE

A social embed adds value when the original post itself provides proof or context.

Use a public, stable source and keep the essential information in the page's own content as well.
