The user shared more details about the above case:

The issue I can't seem to resolve, and that does appear to be on WordPress' side (sorry) is using an HTML block and adding the embed code. The following bit of code is stripped every time the post is published, even though previewing the code appears to work properly: data-flickr-embed="true" data-header="true" data-footer="true"

Hopefully this information will help WordPress discover the root cause of the problem. Otherwise, I hope one of the other options works for you!

In this case, the problem only occurs on AT sites. It works fine on simple sites. Changing theme makes no difference. It appears to be AT/Simple related

I did a quick test here https://mystoreadminpractice.blog/flickr-embed/ and https://mrfxvanillaat.wpcomstaging.com/2021/07/01/flickr-embed/ using theme VENTURE and it seems to be working just fine, for both albums and individual images.

If I try theme MORDEN, it will not work on AT sites, but it WILL work on simple sites:

This leads me to think that this might be theme-related, not just AT a Simple/AT disparity. Marking as triaged.
