Publicize to Bluesky: post images are not pulled into Bluesky post

[jeherve]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack, Social

Quick summary

When publicizing a post to Bluesky, an image can be attached to the post, but right now we only do so if the post includes a featured image. It would be nice if we could also pick images from the post content as well.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start with a site that's connected to WordPress.com.
2. Go to Jetpack > Settings > Sharing
3. Connect your site to your Bluesky account
4. Go to Posts > Add New
5. Write a new post with a title, some content, and insert an image block. Add an image there.
6. Hit Publish

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I would expect the post that gets publicized to Bluesky to display that image in the post preview.

What actually happened

Instead, only a link is displayed.

Logs or notes

Here is a screenshot of 3 different scenarios:

• A post with no image in the post content, but a featured image -> That featured image is picked in the post preview.
• A post with an image in the post content, and that same image as a featured image -> That featured image is picked in the post preview.
• A post with an image in the post content but no featured image -> That is the bug we're talking about here
