Prevent double embed

[gazpachoking]

Sometimes, the default discord embedding decides to work, and in these cases we get two embeds for that link, one default and one from this bot. Is there a good way to prevent this?

The bot used to be able to do this automatically but unfortunately Discord.net removed the method that I used to remove embeds and I haven't found a new way to do it yet.

Also, if you put the link between < and > like so: <https://instagram.com/> discord will not embed its contents. I know that it is not optimal and i will try to find an automatic solution but that is a workaround for now.

Cool, thanks for the info. Hopefully they'll bring that feature back. 😃

Just released the fix to the main bot! Let me know if you notice any other issues. Thanks for reporting this.

Do we have to do anything special to enabled this? We are still getting double embeds. 🙁

The bot must have manage messages permission to remove them.
