Has anyone had issues with #twitter #x not fetching twitter:image meta tags for link/card #previews recently? They've stopped working on one of my sites but I haven't changed anything my end.

Last time we had this trouble it turned out to be some really weird low level networking setting!

@grb090423 You're more than welcome!

We have a bit of a challenge in that our post scheduling tool doesn't support Alt Text so a couple of times a day I have to visit all the posts with images and manually add Alt Text afterwards.

There's a problem in Mastodon with certain link preview images in WebP of AVIF (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/14983) so for some sources we need to put images in manually.

@davidtoddmccarty @ivory @medium I’m guessing it’s not the app, as I have the same issue with Ice Cubes. It’s not consistent. It is annoying. It could have something to do with line breaks or hidden characters preceding the link, but this is a guess - not a tech guy. Someone is bound to know the answer…

A few things I’ve learnt since joining Mastodon World :mastodonworld:

✳️ Putting a link as the last item in a toot appears to enable a preview of it to appear

✳️ Always adding Alt Text to images is appreciated by those who use screen readers

✳️ Capitalising each word in a hashtag makes it easier to read for both people and screen readers

✳️ Listing hashtags after the toot rather than embedding them within makes it easier to read

Discovered an advantage to generating the #LinkPreview on the receiving server: You'll still get previews on posts from other #ActivityPub software that doesn't provide its own.

For example, a post from #GoToSocial in its current alpha version seen on #Mastodon.

@taylorlorenz Hi Taylor, welcome to #Mastodon. Mastodon has a really neat feature that allows you to #delete and #repost toots.
May be you could use this feature to rewrite some of your toots ?
Oh by the way, Mastodon does have #linkpreview. It is nicely done by the server so it doesn't put at risk or hurt our devices.
May be it would be good for you to fly around a little bit, #listen and try to #understand before "requesting" anything. #myopinion
Have a good day.

Links like https://daringfireball.net/linked/2022/12/12/foundation-swift should show a preview. Links like https://davidbeck.co don't have an image but should still have a link preview. However, mentions like @dev1 and hashtags like #LinkPreview should not show a preview.

Web 2.0 websites has made depending on the (free-of-cost) CloudFlare caching service such a default, that Web 1.0 websites that got linked by a Mastodon post often suffers...

Web 1.0 sites suffers a sort of "Mastodon effect", somewhat similar to that 'old school' phenomenon, "getting Slashdotted"...
