A simple Discord bot that provides a message action to generate link previews for any https://threads.net links in said messages.

Why? Because for some reason it's hit-or-miss whether or not Discord actually generates link previews for Threads, which is frustrating.

It also contains a /fx command for fixing up Twitter links via FixTweet, because why not.

You can download prebuilt binaries in the releases section.

You can also build and install from source (requires an up-to-date Rust install):

cargo install --git https://github.com/Cldfire/discord-threads-link-expander.git --locked

Create a file named discord-threads-link-expander-config.toml next to the binary (or at the root of the repo if you're doing cargo run). Add your bot token like so:

bot_token = "..."
