Can someone please help me with Bluesky?

I just signed up this evening And I can't figure out to post to DU. When i click on the link to embed post it gives me about 3 paragraphs worth of code which turns into nothing.

Really frustrated!

How do you make bluesky vids play here and not jerk us away to bluesky to view ?
Xitter links used to do the same but they usually play here now .
Why don’t bluesky vids play here on DU also ?

just left of the 3 dots is an up arrow, click on that, use the copy link option, then just paste it in your DU reply text

since it doesn't work the same as Twitter, although most other functions mimic it...
