Is your proposal related to a problem?

Is there any hope of using the official embed support to add a markdown conversion that will take the embed code and allow it to be embedded directly in a Lemmy post?

The current instructions here use HTML and JS, so you can't simply just post it inside of a new comment and trying to just copy and paste the text into a blockquote is awkward due to how line breaks work and needing to hard new line each item.

You can see the code here: https://embed.bsky.app/

Describe the solution you'd like.

Maybe when you post a Bluesky link, it automatically converts to the embed?

Or adding new markdown along with a Bluesky link that would convert it to the embed?

Describe alternatives you've considered.

The only way to do it now is just awkwardly copy and paste the text of the post, which loses formatting and style.

The only embeds supported in Lemmy comments are image embeds. Anything else would break the flow of conversation. I heard there is a bridge from Bluesky to Activitypub, you could try to use that to comment on Lemmy.

If bluesky supports opengraph tags, then those should also work well for creating a preview card (I doubt they do though).
