❇️ 🎉 INTRODUCING: FxMastodon 🎉

Today I was getting annoyed by Mastodon images/videos not always embedding properly on discord, especially if they're NSFW content. 🥺

I decided to make FxMastodon, which is a Mastodon equiv of FxTwitter that fixes embeds to make them work properly on Discord and certain other apps 😁

It works with images, GIFs, and videos from Mastodon posts - only shows the first image/video though

**How to use it:**

Simply prepend "fxmas.to/" to the start of the post URL after https://

**For example:**

https://derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701

**Becomes:**

https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701

**This also works!**

https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/110725611755772701

And of course, it's **OPEN SOURCE** https://github.com/Someguy123/fxmastodon

Please feel free to try it out and let me know how you like it, or if you find any bugs 🥰💚

Thanks for the suggestions, and shoutout to those joining the Twitch production streams! https://www.littleshyfim.com/suggest-a-sin #brony #mlp #fim

Does it also work with *key, plemiforgotthename and that third software i saw in use like once? Or is this one mastodon specific?

@RedstoneLP2 @scrimmy I tried it out with a misskey link and it does not work with that. I'd love if it could be added as a functionality.

@KingDeadWolf @RedstoneLP2 Yeah it only works with Mastodon for now, may work with other appps if they use the same /api/v1/statuses/12345

Maybe make an issue on the GitHub , or a pull request if you know python and want to contribute 😁

@scrimmy Why not look into the ActivityPub protocol and base around that? You'd be able to support Mastodon, Soapbox, Lemmy, and even Meta's Threads that way, with enough engineering. It might take a lot of spec reading if you can't find an appropriate library for it though.

@Bytewave Yeahhh I considered this, but I figured that’d take a lot more work than the statuses API xD
