Idea and hosting by @RTCFlyer.
Links to these website will cause an automatic reply with either an image/video attachment or a rich embed.
Videos and some images from posts, shorts, reels, stories, etc are attached in chat as if uploaded directly to Discord.
- iFunny
- TikTok
Using the message context menu command (Apps > Embed media) will cause the bot to attempt to download media from any (including unrecognised) links using yt-dlp.
For multimedia social websites where text is often the primary content, the bot replies with links to existing "embed fixer" services which usually provide text content, author name, number of likes and comments, and improved image and video embeds.
- Bluesky (via bskye.app)
- Twitter (via fxtwitter.com)
- Node.js v18 or higher
