@stefan I don't often programing PHP unless I'm explicitly helping someone often with wordpress.
I could defnitely extract watever messages you want and auto-post them. Email me at ekis@shehackedyou.com
I can do it on stream soon, and have it ready for you shortly. It really wouldn't take me long.
Speeding up the process is being specific about functional requirements (what has to exist for basic functionality) to be accurate as possible (it never is though dont worry)
Basically, the plugin "replaces" the iframe embed code with a Twitter-style block quote, which allows me to reuse code from a similar plugin I wrote for Twitter, which turns the block quote into what you see on the front end.
@pfefferle Good question! My main reason for creating this plugin was a site I maintain for creative bots at https://botwiki.org.
The goal is to create an archive of creative social media bots, and as part of this I want to include some example output, usually in the form of a post.
Now, when a post included via an iframe is deleted, it will also disappear from your site. Similarly, if you include your own posts, and the instance you use goes away, you lose all your own embedded posts.
@pfefferle There are also other issues with performance, for example, if the server you're loading the post from is overloaded, or goes down, it will affect your site.
Twitter solves this by including the original post as a quote, which, if the tweet still exists, gets then formatted to look like a proper tweet.
@pfefferle The bottom line is, I want to be able to quote a post and make it part of my site, but make it accessible, as opposed to taking a screenshot.
@pfefferle And just to clarify, at least in Mastodon's case, the oEmbed code just returns an iframe, which is the default code you get when you embed a post.
@pfefferle I did a few tests while discussing the topic with @stefan, and if it works with Mastodon today (but only using the specific function to get the iframe + script), not by copy/pasting the "naked" URL, it doesn't work with other platforms, such as Calckey etc. [didn't test all of them].
@stefan I always wonder for these sorts of embeds: if possible, should they just be handled on the host site instead of embedding from a remote URL? Like, reproduce the content locally, and then link out to the original post. That way a super popular website/article doesn’t DDoS the origin, and you can also keep the OP accountable if they later delete the post (e.g. when dealing with politicians or other public figures).
Idk how people feel about it, but I always did that for Twitter “embeds.”

@morph Yeah, I wasn't too sure if this is necessary, and if this is the best way to relate the information, that's why this one icon is optional. Let me know what you think!
