yeah Discord massively improved Bluesky embeds since FxBluesky came out. FxBluesky is still extremely useful on Telegram though!

oh also, if you are fluent in any other languages, I would really appreciate help translating UI elements and such! 💙

Post from @tokyoxkenshin64 fuck it heres the full animal crossing movie cuz idgaf Quoting 🛸 (@__itzt3z) the funniest tiktoks be the ones they dont let you save The media shows an 87 minute long video, the full animal crossing movie since X-Twitter moderation barely exists anymore. It has 7.73 million views.

wow! i just shipped redesigned Discord embeds for @fxbsky.app, fxtwitter and fixupx today.

On a technical level, they pretend to be a mastodon server so we can take advantage of rich embeds with proper formatting

Is this issue still affecting you?

Oops, that's a bug, will fix that

Not at this time, though keep in mind you can just use Bluesky’s public API—unlike Twitter, it’s free and doesn’t have restrictions.

That's odd, if it's still happening, do you mind sharing the affected url?

FxBluesky is an embed fixer. If you’re having issues with Bluesky itself you should file an issue with them: github.com/bluesky-soci...

Fair! Firefox extensions are mostly compatible with Chrome anyway so you shouldn't need many (if any) changes.

Do you plan on publishing to Firefox Add-ons as well?

Which app are you sharing a link in?

Originally we were muxing from the CDN but this ended up being too time consuming, so now we are pulling it from the PDS (Personal Data Service) and caching it so we don't need to request it again. Twitter has mp4s on their CDN so this is not an issue.

One reason videos don't work on embeds yet is because they don't provide them as an mp4 on the CDN, so you have to download it from the PDS instead or mux it from the CDN. What FxBluesky does is we cache the video from the PDS one time so it doesn't need to be fetched again.

This way, you require access to the URL to be able to see it, and it won't show up in search engines because that is obviously the whole point of the checkbox.

FxBluesky relies on the Bluesky Public API, which includes all users who have this setting on. Like it says under the setting, "Bluesky is an open and public network".

That said, I made a change to ensure crawlers cannot crawl your bluesky posts (regardless of settings) github.com/FixTweet/FxT...

Correct, no connections to VixBluesky. FxBluesky is related to and directly based on the FxTwitter(FixupX) project

If you had issues with videos taking too long to embed before, try it again now! Made some changes to make it faster.

sick!!! :D

It’s currently part of the fxtwitter project… we’ll figure out our branding eventually :P github.com/FixTweet/FxT...

It should yes! If it doesn't please let me know and I'll look into it

yesss!! ❤️❤️

To be fair Bluesky embeds are not as bad as Twitter embeds: Usually they actually at least somewhat work. But currently they don’t do video, nor can it do some of the fancier features like thread unrolling that fxbsky (and fxtwitter) can do

(Yes it's confusing it's still part of the FxTwitter project, branding changes are TBA)

Like I said, we're working on the branding since atm it's part of fxtwitter XD

The code lives in github.com/FixTweet/FxT.... Clearly we'll need to revise our branding and documentation though :P

🙏

It’d be cool if they could also add threads and other stuff but I feel it might be a bit out of their scope (I’d love to be surprised though!)

It’s a good point, and it’s an issue that Bluesky is tracking but hasn’t been worked on in about a month. It would be great if they could natively support it, but the CDN doesn’t host them as mp4s yet (only m3u8) and linking directly to the PDS is considered undesirable. github.com/bluesky-soci...
