Anil@taylorlorenz the link previews thing is complicated because retrieving the data for them is decentralized, meaning each instance (and sometimes, each *app*!) is hitting the website for the preview info. It’s often been omitted because it can knock small websites offline just dealing with serving previews when a popular user shares a link.
Matt Blaze@taylorlorenz @anildash right. The way it’s implemented really doesn’t scale in a (growing) federated system. A more sensible approach would be to generate the preview at the poster’s instance.
