I wish Bluesky worked in a way that I could embed posts automatically from a link. I'm seeing if I can resolve what I need server side in some kind of not too complex way.

If I can't, or it might not be something I want to do, I might build a database of users that get posted here more often.

For example, Philippe Papin's profile handle is "pppapin.bsky.social". But to embed a post, you need to know a piece of technical data. His unique user id is "did:plc:k7e3nt53n5g5e3rc655qzckw". I might take that string after "did:plc:" and automatically in the code at CaneTalk save those user ids so that if the system here detects someone posting a link from a profile it has stored, then it can add that and display the embed code.

There is a site people can use to create embed code from a link:
https://embed.bsky.app/

Or just on the thread itself, but that adds an extra step and has to deal with copying all the code.

I did just find how to get the unique user id:
https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle?handle=pppapin.bsky.social
But will need to think about how to integrate that if I can.

Embed Video or other Social Media
This feature works for YouTube (videos), X (formerly Twitter) (tweets), Facebook (posts, photos and videos), Instagram (posts and videos), Threads (posts), Bluesky (posts), Imgur (images and videos) and NHC Audio Briefings (mp3 files).

X (formerly Twitter) Options:
In our testing, you can't post an Instagram and Threads post in the same message. One of the site's embeds will not load.

Due to how Bluesky content must be embedded to do it automatically, technical errors may sometimes make it impossible to automatically embed it for you. If you have any issues, turn that option off and embed the content manually if you wish to do so.
