 Bluesky recently added public embed support for individual posts,
 including oEmbed discovery.

 oEmbed endpoint: https://embed.bsky.app/oembed
 URL pattern: https://bsky.app/profile/*/post/*

 There is a tool to experiment with embeds at https://embed.bsky.app

 I looked over the "adding new oEmbed providers" questions
 (https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions
 /#adding-new-oembed-providers). Bluesky currently has over 5 million
 registered accounts, and over a million active users. There is a wikipedia
 article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_(social_network)). The
 protocol that Bluesky is built on, atproto, is federated. bsky.app is not
 the only domain/website which can publicly display or embed posts, but it
 is a large and stable provider for the entire network (including content
 which is hosted on independent instances). We take the responsibility of
 hosting embeds pretty seriously, and expect to support this endpoint, and
 embeds, in a backwards-compatible manner indefinitely, to the best of our
 ability.

 The source code for the embed widget and embed.bsky.app server are both
 open source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

 I will be opening an issue to get Bluesky added to the public provider
 list (https://oembed.com/providers.json) in parallel to this ticket.
