Does anyone know what #Friendica is missing to correctly generate post link previews on remote systems? #OpenGraph #Interoperability

VegOS reshared this.

@Matthew Graybosch I hear you, but other platforms have support for the twitter: and og: meta namespaces, so it is worthwhile in my view to implement them.
Possibly it has something to do with the robots.txt?
@Michael Vogel I saw the follow-up, and I believe it has to do with the bot blocking addon rather than the robots.txt file.
Sounds very plausible.

@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan No, definitely not! Here's a guy who says the reason is simple: Friendica doesn't handle Open Graph properly! 🤣🤣🤣

Ooops...


@Signor Amministratore Aaaah, I understand now, there's no preview generated for Friendica posts in 3rd party platforms. You're right, we probably aren't handling OpenGraph at all for conversations.
