Show full media from X and Bluesky links in messengers
Pasting X or Bluesky links into Discord or Telegram often results in plain text or broken images. This tool adds a short prefix to the link, displaying the original photos, videos, polls, and translations directly in the messenger interface. It is a simple solution that requires only changing the link format, with no complex setup.
The short prefix
Users simply add a specific word to the beginning of their existing links. For twitter.com links, add fx; for x.com links, add fixup; and for bsky.app links, add fx. When these modified links are shared in Discord or Telegram, the platform's built-in preview feature automatically renders the rich media content. No separate app installation or account linking is required, making it effortless for both the sender and the recipient.
Self-hosting setup
The service is written as a Cloudflare Worker and can be run locally via a Docker image. The Docker image uses Wrangler to run a local worker runtime; because Wrangler's binary is linked to glibc, it uses a node:24-bookworm-slim base instead of Alpine Linux. If you need a custom domain or branding, copy and modify the .env.example, wrangler.example.toml, and branding.example.json files, then build with the docker compose up -d --build command. The worker listens on port http://localhost:8787 by default, and you can test specific domain zones based on the Host header.
