Instagram embedding features and layout

I’d like to add an emphasis on this.

I also wonder if it’s possible at all to embed Facebook public links. I couldn’t find a way to do so. It also doesn’t work on Discord, by the way. All it does is show a log-in invitation written in a language not always well-chosen, since based on the server on which Discourse is hosted, and despite several users asking about this, I don’t remember seeing any solution or workaround.

Does someone know the status of Discourse/meta regarding Instagram/Facebook embeds?


Here’s an example of a 2021 post from my forum, with properly embedded Facebook and Instagram posts with excerpts and downloaded remote images: Desert MUNI Race Ridgercrest, Ca - #23 by jmadrigal - General - Unicyclist.com

It was perfect then, but now, the feature is broken (Facebook) and half-broken (Instagram). :pensive:
