The first one doesn’t seem to have created a onebox either? It should look a little like this:

> **[Welcome to our demo!](https://try.discourse.org/t/welcome-to-our-demo/57)**

I think you would need the site you’re linking to include the relevant oEmbed/OpenGraph tags for it to function properly.
