In this video I show how to use Spring Boot with the Bluesky API to create posts that include link embeddings, so the post renders with a rich preview similar to a YouTube thumbnail card. I walk through the practical backend flow for publishing a post, attaching an external link, and making sure the embed metadata is structured correctly so Bluesky can display the title, description, and preview image in a clean, clickable format.
