Discord embeds for Mastodon posts are getting a lot better! You should see better images and videos, better formatting, better context styling, and support for embedding a wider variety of posts. This is rolling out now, so you should see it start to take effect in the coming hours. Let me know if you run into any problems!
also yes I had to write an HTML-to-Markdown converter in Rust for this
Update: the new rich Discord embeds are now available for posts on a variety of other ActivityPub services, including Misskey, Pixelfed, and more! Embeds also now indicate when a post is a reply.
If you run an ActivityPub service and your links aren't getting rich embeds on Discord, it's *probably* because you're blocking our requests, but there's a chance you've uncovered a bug! If you think you have (or if you've found a post that gets a rich embed that's malformed in some way), reply here with details and I'll take a look.
@rcombs it doesn't work with akkoma still. :( restarted our client just to make sure it updated but these still look like the old embeds
@loveshock this page doesn't have a <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json"> element, so I have no way to know that it's ActivityPub-compatible; please yell at your implementation’s devs to fix that
