"Abusing" scratch embeds

I found a couple of URLs where they embed a specific scratch project into scratch. But instead of coding it so that it takes you to a new tab when you go outside the url, it goes to the new url… inside the embed.

Using this, I can trick scratch into thinking “Yes, this game of Appel is totally a fashion project!”

Oh god, that is very painful to both look at and use. Every instinct is screaming at me to delete the page. I am simultaneously logged into the main page of Scratch, and then the embed too .

It's quite a learning curve to abuse that specific embed. For example, you can actually go on this specific topic using this method:

1) go to the url (if not already there)
2) scroll down until you go to the footer
3) Under “community”, click on “Discussion Forums”
4) scroll down and click on the ATs
5) find this topic. Hint: it's called ‘“Abusing” scratch embeds’
6) Done

You can access that embed, inside of the embed…

I am currently posting this 4 embeds deep, this is absurd. How many layers can we go?

(I got bored about 5 or 6 embeds in, I couldn’t even see every embed just cuz I’m on iPad)
Doing something productive? No. This? Yes.

Do you have any proof? A screenshot or something.

60 second demon, that was more than 60 seconds.
???

RIP. The worst leg of your journey, of which none with (yeet) installed could ever envy, and of which you deserve endless pity.
-Seriously, that was at least 60 seconds, I’m 100% sure-

Well, it didn't even matter anyway, because the 10th embed couldn't load at all.

I am going to try to add a sort of embed system to my own website that SHOULD go deeper. Technically, that counts as a scratch embed.

These embeds are just iframes so that should not be a problem. This also works with the forum post preview, for example.

I could possibly write up a quick userscript that redirects every scratch iframe to https://api.allorigins.win/get?url=[url]…

Because I am 99% sure the issue with the 10th embed not loading is because the CORS origin disallows going that deep.

If they do disallow it, that's a shame. Scratch would just not be the same without being able to make your games 27 embeds deep

tThe reply preview is an iframe, so you can add a link to pathways/fashion, click on the preview tick, click on the link in the preview iframe, navigate to this topic in the pathways/fashion iframe, and do the same in the pathways/fashion iframe in the preview iframe.
