You have to copy/paste the BlueSky post content - it doesn't auto-display the post. Dennis Donovan Apr 22 #1

I don't have an "embed post" option on that drop-down menu in your screenshot. highplainsdem Apr 22 #3

Admin is working on getting BlueSky posts to display when you post the URL / link of the BlueSky post in DU.

The HTML code will be stripped out when you attempt to paste it into a DU post.

Currently it is not possible to embed a Bluesky post directly into a DU post. However -- we have been working on this, and the functionality is coming. We will be pushing a couple of updates to the software in a few weeks, and Bluesky embeds will hopefully be included at that time.

And when it’s a “tweeter” it’s so much sweeter.

No API call or click on Elon’s home for wayward nazi’s.

FWIW, some sites have links that don’t embed here or even keep you from copying an image. (It’s done in javascript.)
