I suppose this is not the case anymore? 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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/facebook-onebox-shows-wrong-language/232369), 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](https://unicyclist.com/t/desert-muni-race-ridgercrest-ca/127502/23?u=canapin) It was perfect then, but now, the feature is broken (Facebook) and half-broken (Instagram). 😔 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/instagram-embedding-features-and-layout/233056)._
