Oneboxing Reddit topics with images isn't working right

bug
2

This happens due to 2 things.

  1. Rich link previews with Onebox

  2. We have a site setting called download remote images to local which copies all images to your site to avoid “hotlinking” which is super bad mojo.

What you seem to be asking for here is:


source

Which is done like so:

So I guess the feature request here is, can you always include source for image oneboxes?

Now I am not strictly against this, but not sure if it should be default behavior, I get the “automatic attribution” argument, however stuff is still attributed in the post edits if you want to dig.
