If I share a link on Facebook or Apple iMessage to a post on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) I get a rich text preview with the title of the post:

Yet when I do the same thing on my newly installed Discourse installation (thank you Jay!) it does not work and I get only a plain vanilla preview.

How can i fix this?

Your site is login required, so Facebook can’t read the message to create the preview.

If you want previews, you’ll have to allow anonymous users to see your site.

Yes that makes sense - thanks!

It will be public after initial setup/content is completed
