Anyone else experiencing problems (again) with link previews (including thumbnail images) when posting from #Mastodon via #Bridgy to #Bluesky?

Fediverse => Bluesky: auto-generate embeds (with thumbnail images) for links? · Issue #1411 · snarfed/bridgy-fed
I do not know if this is a general problem between platforms or if it is strictly an issue between Mastodon -> Bluesky, but whenever I post an article (or other external link) on Mastodon the thumb...

Well, now it's going out of hands: Remember how the flag emojis disappeared from my website and I tried to find an explanation?
Now they're gone from #Bluesky on the web for me. Anyone else seeing this? 👇🏼

Got suspended for 24 hours from #Bluesky for telling a transphobic (and potentially a nonce) "journalist" to end his life :neocat_thonk:

Meanwhile, free speech thrives on #Bluesky. 🙄
That post has the same content as the Mastodon post here (minus the edit note):

"But there were technologists and open source projects in attendance. Notably, representatives from the Mastodon and Bluesky teams were at the Festival. The Newsmast Foundation was also present, incisively taking part in conversations to help newsrooms onboard themselves onto both of them. I got to hang out with them all, connecting with people I’d spoken with but never interacted with in person. Mastodon has undergone a transformation, has doubled its team, and is working on smoothing out some of its rough edges, while not letting go of its core ethos. It’s also beginning to position itself as a European alternative to American social media platforms, with a community-first values system and new services to directly help organizations join the network.
Bluesky, on the other hand, has done an able job of bringing journalists onto its existing social app, and is now hard at work explaining why its underlying protocol matters. Both want to engage with newsrooms and journalists and do the right thing by them. They each have something different to prove: Mastodon that it can be usable and accessible, and Bluesky that it can provide a return to its investors and truly decentralize while holding onto its values. I’m rooting for both of them.
These platforms’ messages dovetail with my own: news can own the platforms that support them. Lots of people at the Festival were worried about the impact of US big tech on their businesses — particularly in a world where tech moguls seem to be aligning themselves with a Presidential administration that has positioned itself as being adversarial to news, journalists, sources, and, arguably, the truth. The good news is that the technology is out there, the values-aligned technologists are out there, and there’s a strong path forward. The only thing left is to follow it."
