A topic has the embed tags, but the index (usually /latest page) doesn’t.

I think it would be good, so the link expand where people use this, like:

- Whatsapp
- Telegram
- Discord
- Facebook

What you guys think?

It is unclear what those tags would contain for the index?

- Site Name: Same as topic

- URL: Forum index

- Title: Forum title

Looks good?

Maybe can you show before and after with that?

Facebook scrap other html tags when the OpenGraph tags aren’t found, so you get a warning but it works:

Probably OK though a bit redundant. Make sure we are testing using the [Iframely URL Debugger - Open Graph, Twitter Cards, oEmbed](http://iframely.com/debug)

Necro bump, but 100% relevant – whatever became of this? **Discord** is another reason for this.

Currently when I post our link:

![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/3/43c1757fed99ba82b224d7160ac9102283102d6f.png)

and it should look add an image at the top-right pulled from meta data.

Discord, much like FB and other sites, pull from **ogbanner** meta tag, iirc. On the index of the site, it looks like no image shows up at all.

**EDIT** : Topics show an image, if any, but that’s it – there’s no default or index image

That is a Discord problem. Twitter and Facebook pull the info fine. Ask Discord, not us, about that.
