Just an FYI on the bluesky profile links thing: They started just blocking onlyfans and fansly, then expanded to cover a bunch of link shorteners explicitly because adult content is linked to through them. Fuck you @bsky.app . Proof: github.com/bluesky-soci...
Post
bsky.app/profile/pyro... for further details on the server-side link blocking they have as well.
Okay I did a check and bluesky now has a "safelink" service that it also checks URLs against when saving them as profile links. It currently doesn't seem to block anything(I checked a LOT of random urls, including shorteners, adult content sites, etc), at least atm, but this is a server-side method
Further note: None of this prohibits you from manually adding them via editing your profile directly via a site like pdsls, but this isn't a good solution for non-technical users. Bluesky should not be adding these restrictions, except for stuff like malware and scams. Adult creators should be fine!

I tried some stuff too, did you have better luck than me?
Findings so far: Yesterday I modified the records to change the icons, so there's no full validation of every detail by the Bluesky appview Altering an existing record to change the URL and label removes the link, so there's probably *some* validation New records don't show up in the links either
