discord does a custom embed that we have no control over. this is just the HTML embed: embed.bsky.app

I think they clone the video with that embed, or at least when I looked at it the video loaded from their CDN. It's special-cased on bsky.app URLs too, unfortunately. So forks don't get any of that special embed treatment yet.

Is discord still throttled? embeds often break, leading to xbsky or similar as workarounds. Last I heard they couldn't get through to bsky staff.
