Issues with embedding shared content from reddit

Using Ghost
1

I’m trying to embed some content into my Ghost blog from reddit, using their native embed function, listed here: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/embeds/

So, I can grab an embed link from reddit that looks something like this:

<iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/freelanceWriters/comments/wrl6p3/the_wiki_has_just_been_updated_how_can_we_make_it/iktcpod/?depth=1&amp;showmore=false&amp;embed=true&amp;showmedia=false" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="273" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>

But, when I paste that into a Ghost blog using the /embed functionality, I get an error parsing the URL:

Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this, please?

You have two options for embedding reddit content:

  1. paste the URL of the page/comment directly into the editor (no need to use their embed feature)
  2. use their embed feature but create a HTML card and paste the code they give you into that
