Bluesky embeds?

Given some mets have made the switch to Bluesky in recent years in light of Twitter/X chaos, I was wondering if there's any way we could get embeds working for posts from there? Just a proposition...

Not that I know of. Technically the one we use for X was supposed to be shut down (shhhhhhh) but hasn't been yet. Both platforms want you trapped on the platform, not reading it from somewhere else. Feel free to link to bluesky, um, skies or whatever they call them and if I can find a way I will. I'm not sure it's any less chaotic, though I have been able to lock down a few topics, like astrophotography, without getting any interference. X, not so much.

Hmmm, I might have lied. It won't work yet but when I have time I should be able to convert the embed code into BBCode similar to X if it supports a call back to load it. X uses a helper app, so I'm not 100% sure.
