Although the social media auto-poster has been working well as far as I can tell since my last update a few days ago, I noticed that on Bluesky the links in the posts were not clickable. After a bit of research it turns out that Bluesky has an API called facets that gives you a way to turn the plain text you post into rich text. It's a bit of extra work to do this, but on the plus side you get quite a lot of control as to how the text appears. Anyhow, I made a few modifications and hopefully now the links should be clickable. #
