What is LinkFix?

LinkFix brings link embeds back to your Discord server!

Rich media embeds are not well supported by large social media sites. For example, Tweets (a.k.a. "Posts") from Twitter/X no longer embed in Discord. LinkFix solves this problem by replying to messages containing such links with vxtwitter-style alternatives that support rich media embeds.

Supported Sites

LinkFix currently supports:

• Twitter/X (Tweet embeds via fxtwitter)
• BlueSky/bsky via vixbluesky
• TikTok (video embeds via vxtiktok)
• Instagram (image, video, and reel embeds via ddinstagram)
• Reddit (text, image, and video embeds via vxreddit)
• Pixiv (artwork + description embeds via phixiv)
• YouTube Shorts (replies with a youtu.be URL that directs to the full player)

Current Commands

• /help: Displays a help message with this list of commands
• /invite: Get a link to invite LinkFix to a server
• /vote: Get a link to vote for LinkFix on Top.gg
