Reddit: Galleries and YAGPDB (suggestions) #48

Closed fbalt5 closed 9 months ago

fbalt5 commented 10 months ago

Hi - I have two suggestions/requests to improve reddit embeds

First, I noticed that vxreddit only embeds the first photo of a gallery into discord. Switching to rxddit.com may solve this as it embeds all photos in a gallery into discord

Second, I noticed that linkfix does not respond to reddit links sent by bots/webhooks. Allowing the bot to fix bot/webhook links would be useful since discord bots like YAGPDB send links directly to reddit, which breaks video embedding. Allowing users to toggle whether bots/webhook links are fixed could be useful

I'll check out rxddit.com as a replacement for vxreddit.com, thanks for the heads up about that.

As for replying to bots, that interaction is disabled to prevent infinite loops of bots replying to each other. I will see if there's anything I can do about YAGPDB but I don't think that will get implemented because it has massive potential to cause headaches.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I've updated the bot to use rxddit.com links instead of vxreddit. Unfortunately there's not a good way to implement YAGPDB support currently. I looked into it and there's a few edge cases that could cause infinite reply loops which would be hard to work around. Thank you for your suggestions!
