This shows "Nothing to see here - yet" unless the user is logged in to X (Twitter) from the same browser and their browser allows cross-site tracking (often not the default). This seems to be a known problem for almost a year with no definite resolution:
I tried a proposed third-party workaround (https://www.athabasca.dev/twitterwidget), but it did not work when testing locally. For now, I'll leave this issue open until a solution can be found. I'll add some explanatory text underneath the embedded Twitter widget:
Tweets are not displayed unless you are logged into <a href="https://X.com" target="_blank">X (Twitter)</a> and your browser settings allow cross-site tracking.
In the longer term, if no solution becomes available, we should consider removing the embedded Twitter widget from the HEPData homepage.
