Buesky links problem

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when someone posts a Bluesky link, all I get is the blue butterfly.

But, earlier, when people first started posting from Bluesky, it opened up completely for me. What changed?

I am still using the same Android phone. Xitter tweets still open up for me when posted, but Bluesky doesn't.

after I deleted my twitter account, that happened sometimes. But not all the time. I never did figure it out. At first I thought that maybe you had to be logged into twitter on the device you are on, but if you don't have an account? Not sure.

I created one for me. I don't know much about Bluesky or other social media, except Facebook. So I don't know if you need an account to access the links.
I found this tiktok link. maybe it'll work for you

I never did have one, but it the links used to open up for me before and now they don't. Don't know why.

I've stopped trying to keep up with the way the updates change things on phones and other devices
