Hm. Is there really no way to refresh a preview card attached to a status?

@stefan The only reliable way as an end user right now is to edit the post and replace with a slightly different url.

Add a fake extra query string parameter or even an alternative domain - m.YouTube.com vs YouTube.com for example, that points to the same spot.

But that only affects your post, not anyone elses posts that linked to your original url.

@box464 Yep, exactly how I went about it!

By the way, while looking into this, I came across your article on Mastodon embeds again, really great work!

@[email protected] Yep, that didn't really help. What works is if you add something to the URL that makes it look different to the server, but not to anyone visiting it. So something like adding "?123" will typically do the trick.
