Description
Flickr albums or collections from a "sharing url" do not embed.
Steps to reproduce
- Visit a Flickr album
- Use the sharing features on Flickr to provide their tiny-url such as https://flic.kr/s/aHsmLCQa2e
- try embedding this url into a Flickr block.
Possible fix
Update block to recognize alternate flickr domain.

Their oEmbed doesn't recognize their short links. Using your example short URL returns a 404:
https://www.flickr.com/services/oembed/?format=json&url=https%3A//flic.kr/s/aHsmLCQa2e
There isn't way for us to determine the full URL from the shortened ones without hitting the redirect first and then transforming it.
I think the right solution is to try to report upstream to see if they could fix their oEmbed endpoint to recognize their own short URLs.
