One thing that I neglected to mention is that since the SRI hashes are calculated, previews can be cached by peers other than the originating host - since they are verifiable, anyone can pass them along and the client can verify the payload.

Not something I really fleshed out in discovery, but if there is interest, that might make it more production ready.

Okay - it would have been nice to learn where the proposal fails, but I understand that I can’t access your expertise for free. Take it easy!
It really feels like you didn’t read my post. I specifically called out caching as a concern, and even if we see more requests, they will be cheap to serve.

Link Preview Manifest: A Proposal for the Fediverse

Link Preview Manifest: A Proposal for the Fediverse - Lemmy.World

Starting in Firefox version 142, Mozilla released a “Link Previews” feature. While the feature is problematic, commenters post pointed out that some previews are helpful – e.g. on Wikipedia, where a preview will appear when people hover over a wiki-linked page. Other commenters pondered about some minimal way to replicate this elsewhere, and it seemed to be worth investigation. Read on as I propose an enhancement to the Fediverse (and maybe even web standards) to make Link Previews great: the Link Preview Manifest.

Link Preview Manifest: A Proposal for the Fediverse - Lemmy.World

Starting in Firefox version 142, Mozilla released a “Link Previews” feature whose main purpose is to push AI onto its users.

Other commenters pondered about some minimal way to replicate this elsewhere, and it seemed to be worth investigation.

I could use a primer on Lemmy, since frankly I don’t know the culture all that much. If you have a pointer to something in mind, I’d appreciate it.

FWIW, I’ve gotten banned from two forums already (ha) so you aren’t kidding. 😜

Thanks for letting me know! 🥰
Are you saying that I am endorsing my corrupt senators? No, I am not, actually.
It’s annoying to have to create a new account since federation from mbin to Lemmy doesn’t seem to work across many instances. That and adding a thumbnail to many Lemmy communities simply strips the shared link.
AI is based on theft, so Mozilla is monetizing its userbase based on theft. Are you saying you endorse this view?
