Feature Request - preview?

Continuing the discussion from DELETEME - Pictures:

I couldn’t find a setting, does it exist?

It seems the feature is called “oneboxing”:

Maybe it has something to do with trust levels?

Only some websites show the preview all.

Ahh, are you talking about uploads? It’s set so that new users can upload right now. It’s pretty easy to get bumped to a level 1. You just have to enter five different topics, read 5 posts, and spend 10 minutes reading. It was higher, but I just lowered all the numbers. If that’s too much, we can manually bump people as well.

Nope, I was talking about link previews. So it seems they just work for some sites?

Yeah, there’s a whitelist of sites that they work for. Maybe we can add others if they’re needed, I’m not totally sure how Discourse handles that.

Maybe we can try first with *.mozilla.org domains.

Did some testing on the dev instance, it’s easy to add support for sites that support opengraph (mozilla.org) but a lot more difficult for ones that don’t.
