    I’m new to the fediverse in general, is there a way to make sure that Bluesky posts embed so I can see them without having to make a bluesky account?

      If the Bsky post in question is “visible to logged-in users only”, IIRC the user had to enable that setting manually, similar to a Private Twitter account. Sorry dude, I ain’t circumventing that. Rule 1 is there for a reason.

      Streaming-video posts are a stickler anyway, even for public content. No idea on that one, I’d love to know.

      Direct links to anything (images, single video file) are easy; those should work unless the site in question has locked down really tight on hotlinking.

      Streaming video isn’t a single file, it’s a bunch of video chunks fed one at a time to your browser/app via an M3U playlist – Twitter, Bsky, YouTube, etc. all do this. I assume Lemmy devs had to add custom code for the streaming video cases that do currently work (e.g. Youtube), because Markdown is just text interpreted into HTML.

          • Rule 1 has been a thing for like 10 years, starting on the old Reddit site, way before Bsky was a thing
          • As mentioned, E621 is easy-mode: single-file videos, and no restrictions on hotlinking. Streaming video could work too, cuz it already does for YouTube links and Bsky embeds mostly work on other platforms like Telegram. It’s Lemmy Devs problem to solve.

          Let’s have a compromise: Me, just for both you, random stranger from the wider Fediverse, and to @CheetahHybrid@pawb.social, I’ll try to post more public available content (eg murrsuit stuff from RedGIFs or MurrTube)

          And I request that both of you cut a tiny bit of slack to the busy guy who’s getting 5h of sleep, has a 9-5 that physically exhausts me every day, parents suck, car is breaking down, needs to babysit the old Reddit site too, manages multiple Pawb communities, etc etc etc who could’ve just banned and blocked both of you out of pure exhaustion but I’m bothering to hear you out and type this response cuz I can’t help myself
