Links to posts/topics aren't populating in Slack

[jerdog (Jeremy M)]

So whenever I post a link to our site (community.auth0.com) it doesn’t auto-expand/summarize like it does for other Discourse sites. Is there anything I should be checking?

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

Is the topic / post you are linking to in a secure category? Do you mean literally a link to the root page of the website?

Just tried it in my slack org with both the index page and an arbitrary topic, and it worked

Well of course it did… ffs… this is not my week. Doesn’t work for me at all but everything else does - will have to do some figuring out

It is possible to disable link previews for specific domains - maybe this has been done by accident on your slack organisation: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204399343-Share-links-in-Slack#turn-off-link-previews-for-specific-sites

That’s likely tbh… Doh…
