Link previews no longer being generated on Discord

Sure. As per https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/social-media-previews-no-longer-work/77159/6 when a user links my profile in a Discord conversation https://www.inaturalist.org/people/benarmstrong Discord should generate an embed preview and it attach it to that user’s message. Here’s one from several years ago for my own profile as it appeared on that date:

Similarly, when a user posts a link to an observation like https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/346061535 the page’s meta tag has <meta content="https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/630757989/large.jpg" property="og:image"> and therefore that image https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/630757989/large.jpg should be attached to the user’s message, along with a title and a link back to the iNaturalist observation within the embed. That embed is no longer generated and added to the user’s message.

Here’s an example of a different previewed observation that was linked by a member in the iNaturalist Discord server on March 19, 2026. Ever since some time late on March 21, 2026, such previews are no longer being generated in any of our channels by Discord.
