Generate onebox previews for links in imported posts

[shyguy]

am i correct that onebox previews won’t be generated for links in imported posts?

docker exec discourse-app rake posts:rebake

 count

  1226

so there’s a ballpark… you think i’ll be ok? this is from my home IP lol. i’ll read your link and see if there is a way to be more careful next time.
