Did they stop working? No onebox at all:

Fails on here, but works on my sites with onebox assistant plugin … suspect the crawl is being blocked or rate limited?

Oh my that is a crime of a URL 😱.
@jamie.wilson did we regress on encoded URLs in oneboxes? I remember you mentioning it somewhere on the last updates…

I don’t think it’s a regression (or, at least, a regression that I’ve introduced recently). It is very closely related to other URL encoding stuff I’ve been looking at, so I’ll get some PRs in place for this today.

I believe reddit links generally are working (see the shouldercat above). As @falco pointed out, the link that @terrapop posted has a bunch of Unicode characters in it and this is what’s causing the problem.
Once the following are both merged in (and onebox gets a version bump), the original link should become onebox’able.
