I know I've seen this discussed before, but I can't find the conversation. Apologies for retreading old ground.

My node currently is not displaying link previews. If I draft a post and attach (using the paperclip icon in Frio) a link to this blog post, a rich preview of the link appears in the post composer, complete with featured image and subtitle:

The Friendica post composer, showing a rich link preview.

However, when I publish the post, the rich link preview is gone, replaced with a very plain link that only contains the title of the post:

Screenshot of a post containing a link. There is no rich link preview.

I'm running Friendica 2021.04. What might be causing this issue, and how can I troubleshoot and fix it?

@Spencer in /admin -> policies I have this setting:

With this domains:

*invidious*,soundcloud.com, m.soundcloud.com, vimeo.com, twitter.com,www.emsc-csem.org

@Steffen K9 🐰 lead me to that solution, the setting is kind of misleading I think.

Weird. I had this setting entirely unchecked when I encountered this behavior. Am I understanding correctly that there's no way to globally enable oEmbed on all domains, just ticking this box to disable it and then providing an allow-list?
