In the new User Tutorial where you are supposed to reply with a link, the bot does not recognize it. Maybe This is because the new preview embedder only Shows the preview but not the link anymore? This is confusing to new Users, can this be fixed (skip works).

Have you upgraded recently? @martin changed the implementation there to make sure this is far more robust.

Thanks for the note, I am on stable 3.4.0, the 3.4.1 upgrade is pending. I can follow up here if it made it better, or wait for 3.5 or whatever release will contain the improvement.
(If you want to know if I know when it failed, I cant say if this is a new occurence, could be that it didnt work for older versions as well).

I see, then yes, this was fixed per:
> [@Discobot didn't recognize link in tutorial](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discobot-didnt-recognize-link-in-tutorial/229146/19):
>
> I’ve merged a fix for that now: The problem happened when responding with the link before our composer preview could onebox the link. Now we do a much simpler check for the example links when doing this step.
