Bluesky links not working?

[Takket]

I’ve tried twice in the last two days and I can’t get bluesky links to work. They aren’t loading. Anyone else having this problem?

I’ve pasted a Bluesky link here but the text doesn’t even show up let alone the post?

1. Mine worked last night but noticed lots of political posts by people complaining that their

Posts were being monitored and removed completely.

2. They are working for me at the moment...

There could be a few different reasons for the problem. It could be something at DU (as mentioned, I'm not experiencing it, so we'll have to see if other people report the same problem), but it could also be something at Bluesky's end, or network issues elsewhere, or possibly something in your browser which is blocking Bluesky embedding (for example, an ad blocker with very high security settings).

4. Turned ad blocker off but still no change

Let me see if I can find a post with a bluesky link in it from someone else

6. Well this is bizarre

Here is a thread I made Monday. I Opened it up and the bluesky post loads just fine!

Okay I figured out the problem. The post I was trying to pit from bluesky, the user had set it to “don’t display on external sites”. So it has
Nothing to do with DU. Problem resolved

Thanks!

8. Yes. As I'd explained in reply 5.

3. It's definitely not removal

Even if I hit the preview button, the post does not load.

5. If they aren't appearing at all, not even the link.showing, it means that Blueskyer has set their account so

their posts won't appear on other sites.

If you happen to post a Bluesky message from someone who's quoted one of their messages, you won't see their message but will see an explanation of why it doesn't appear.

But otherwise nothing appears.
