Linking to a social media post
Social Media & Misinformation Basics
When submitting content you found online to Junkipedia, you'll start with a link. Junkipedia takes that link and extracts important information about the content, like how many engagements it's received over time. It's important to submit the correct link so that the system can properly archive and analyze the content.
In this article, we'll show you how to link to a piece of content no matter what platform or device you found it on.
TIP: Not sure if you have the correct link? Open an incognito window in your browser, then copy and paste the link into the address bar. Did the link take you to the right place? If so, great! If not, you may need to go back to the content and try again.
When you've found a post you'd like to submit, click the date on the post (this is called a date stamp). Clicking the date will open the post in a new page. The link in the address bar is the unique permalink that will take you to this specific post. This is the URL you'll submit to Junkipedia.
