You can install it using a userscript browser extension such as violent monkey.
That’s cool.

relieved to see an Edie reply that is not “I found 500 bugs”
I haven’t looked at the code. If I had I would have found 255 bugs.

Thanks, this is super useful! I’ll use it right now to paste in a COVID PSA:
COVlD outbreaks span 33 states/territories. Find your local levels at pmc19.com/map
Stay safe with layered precautions:
-Get boosted
-Wear a well-fitting N95 respirator, such as a 3M Aura, available at most hardware stores
-Increase air hygiene by flipping the HVAC from “auto” to “on,” opening windows, or adding air purifiers
-Test before gatherings, if exposed, or if experiencing symptoms; the Flowflex brand performs well and can be accessed quickly through an Instacart search of local stores or delivery via Amazon and others
-Stay home when sick and test daily
-Move events outdoors or onlineMere handwashing and coughing/sneezing into one’s arm are insufficient against a virus with at least 99.99% airborne transmission. An infected individual exhales virus into the air by breathing, it lingers in the air, and people become infected by inhaling the virus deep into the lungs. Cumulative infections continue to cause long-term health conditions, disability, and excess deaths via downstream heart attacks and other proximal processes. An exposure need not mean infection if one uses layers of precautions.

The copy button automatically includes links to attached videos and images (cannot rehost them though). I probably should have mentioned that.
Oh that’s so cooooool comrade!!
Also just found out through this that nitter is back, hell yeag!

I looks like it just gives a link to the video and image from the original tweet, but you could make it embedded instead.
embedded image and video (you can open in another tab to see it's hosted outside Hexbear)
Wait, I thought Hexbear automatically proxied embedded images and videos for privacy reasons. Is that not happening anymore?
Hey, following up on this, this feature is not the default behavior in Lemmy, and was disabled in our config inadvertently some time ago. My apologies.
It is now re-enabled, and we’re considering if any further remediation is necessary.
Really appreciate the heads-up about this issue.
FYI @piccolo@hexbear.net @reader@hexbear.net @RondoRevolution@hexbear.net @edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space
Thanks, I appreciate the fix and the reply!
I had assumed the proxy was dynamic (i.e. the Hexbear server checks for embedded resources hosted on external domains and replaces them with the proxied links on-the-fly when serving requested content), but based on the earlier images/videos in this thread not being proxied even after the config has been updated it looks like it happens when records are committed to the database? That’s unfortunate, and I presume that’s why you’re considering possible further action. In an ideal world the database entries in the intervening period would be amended, but that does seem like a hassle, and I won’t pretend to know how involved that might be.
Yep, that’s exactly it.
Thanks for the reply and for your hard work!
Thanks for pinging me to let me know, I appreciate the fix! I honestly didn’t even thing about that being an issue if not for the other comrades pointing it out.
I have one question, is there a correct place for feedback and feature requests about the funny bear site?
c/feedback is the official spot. For more urgent matters, tags/reports/DMs to admins can also work.
Feature requests can be tough because we (currently at least, open to volunteers) have very limited development resources, but feel free to ask, there’s always a chance the feature is something that can be done with a config change or a bot or a userscript, or that another user will come along and go “I reckon I could implement that.”
I see, thanks!
There are a couple of issues I noticed here and there on the site that I’ll eventually post there then.
This is concerning to me as well. Since images auto load, it’s easy for the computer serving the image to harvest IPs and maybe the server can even tell that hexbear was the source of the request. (I’m on my phone so I can’t check right now but this part at least can be disabled on hexbear’s side.) But a malicious actor could easily make a hexbear-unique image url even if hexbear is setting the proper headers or attributes on the image.
I suppose a malicious actor could also do this with links to external domains, but I think the ability for it to be passively collected makes it worse.
I noticed that @RondoRevolution@hexbear.net put the image in a spoiler; I wonder if it works even un-spoilered. (Edit: it does.)
I think some domains have always been allowlisted… If it works for arbitrary domains that’s a bigger issue.
test
Huh yeah not ideal. Maybe @makotech222@hexbear.net knows?
Never knew that was supposed to happen automatically. There’s other stuff broken in the site like youtube title detection and thumbnail embedding too, when I post youtube videos like on c/music and c/videos I need to manually link to the thumbnail.
For years, any embedded images/videos not directly hosted on Hexbear would get replaced by something like
https://hexbear.net/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fthing.jpgIt appears to be a built-in feature of Lemmy, and I’m not sure why it has been disabled—I don’t remember that being announced, at least.
Apparently not?

Embedding an image only requires an
!to be inserted infront which I have left as an exercise for the user at their own discretion.I see, I thought you meant for that to be automatic. The video URL is not copied tho, at least in the example tweet I copied with the script.
video link fixed in 1.1 just need to click update on greasy fork
I didn’t make images embed automatically because it’s not always wanted (size or image is unrelated). Also people tend to to rehost images which is a good idea for resilience considering nitter is under direct attack atm.
that’s sexy
This looks awesome! The formatting is nice with the markdown tables.
Couple of random thoughts which you can take or leave:
- The icon links to the source tweet are kind of small to click on mobile, at least for me. Would it be worth wrapping the icons with non breaking space characters?
- I’m partial to 24 hour time but I guess X uses the AM/PM.
1.1 version now adds space characters to the links.
