I spent a while making a much better designed oEmbed for posts on my site (first image below) only to find that Discourse doesn’t use them, it uses OpenGraph, which is ugly and I cannot control it (second image below).

Is there any way I can use oEmbed?

Any update on this?

I did think oEmbed was already supported:

Though I’m not sure what makes it pick one over the other?
