Fixing Discord embeds
This article is a brief overview on the available workarounds that could be used to fix Discord's unreliable embeds or link previews. As a side note, some of these can be used for alternative messaging clients like Telegram, but we are mostly focusing on Discord for this article.
Security notice
As a general warning, please be aware that usage of these services means that the content passing through may be read by a third-party, other than the messaging client.1) The issue has been raised before when FixTweet's original developer complained about project forks, while admitting that this data was being used to report unsavory content,2)3) though the project has changed hands since then.4)
Link method
The first method involves modifying the link to one of the solutions provided below, which only requires some level of courtesy or netiquette. It's worth noting that this method might work with other messaging clients as well, but I can't verify these claims. Some of the URLs may look weird since they're meant to be used with a sed substitute after you posted the unmodified link.5)

Bot method
The other method involves adding a bot that fixes and generates an embed for you, sometimes deleting the broken embed in the process. Of course, the drawback is that public bots are not perfect, some bots only support one website, and developers have to adhere to the developer policy, which is to say that you can't exactly have public bots share unsavory content unless the bot is private or restricted.
s/i/n = “tiktok” → “tnktok”, s/e/x = “reddit” → “rxddit”, s/o/x = “tiktok” → “tiktxk”, etc.
