Hi, I'm relatively new to Lemmy, but I have been posting a lot in the last few weeks.

One thing I see when I post certain website articles is the above message. The post still works, but it is missing a lot of information that other posts have.

Does someone have a link to documentation of what Lemmy is looking for when it builds a post? I would like to be able to contact the web admins of the problem website, and ask them to modify their code so that it is more "Lemmy-friendly".

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

This is just a guess, but I'd imagine that happens because the websites use JavaScript to load the actual content of the page, but Lemmy is just parsing the HTML that is returned.

Also, I really doubt you'd have much luck convincing website authors to completely change their architecture just to get previews to work on Lemmy.

Right, I'm hoping that the change might be easy. If it requires major work, then no, it would be very unlikely. Thanks for responding.
