We are thrilled to be (finally) launching fxbsky.app!

Just add `fx` to your bsky.app link and you can embed videos, quote posts, multiple images, and more on Telegram and Discord. It can even unroll threads automatically in Telegram Instant View 👀

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

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

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.

Is this issue still affecting you?

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 27

Oops, that's a bug, will fix that

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 24

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.

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 23

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 23

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.

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

Which app are you sharing a link in?

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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.

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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.

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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 @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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...

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

sick!!! :D

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 22

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 21

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 21

yesss!! ❤️❤️

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 21

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 21

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

FxBluesky @fxbsky.app · Oct 21

Yes, yes, and yes.
