Bluesky links not embedding in Discord? The fix

Updated July 2026 · 3 min read
Short answer

Swap bsky.app for a fixer domain (tdy's current default: bsyy.app) and the post embeds with playable video and full-size images. tdy does the swap automatically when you copy.

What breaks

Bluesky's own link previews are better than X's, but still incomplete in chat apps: videos frequently don't play inline in Discord, multi-image posts get cropped to one thumbnail, and quote posts lose their context. Telegram fares similarly.

Like fxtwitter for X, Bluesky fixers fetch the post via the AT Protocol API and serve embed metadata Discord can fully render — the FxEmbed project (of fxtwitter fame) covers Bluesky too. Fixer domains change over time as the ecosystem evolves.

Worth knowing: fixers are independent, community-run services — not affiliated with tdy or the platforms. The fixed link points at their servers; that’s what makes the embed work.

Automatic, with a maintained list

That "domains change over time" part is the argument for not memorizing one: tdy ships a curated, auto-updating list of the best fixer per platform — Bluesky included — and applies it the moment you copy a link. Prefer a different fixer? Pick it, or type your own, per platform. Tracking parameters are stripped in the same pass.

Bluesky posts that embed properly.

tdy swaps in the working fixer automatically. Native, one-time purchase, no subscription.
