Is it possible to get a Link Preview somehow?

I have been looking in settings, but somehow I can’t find a setting to show link previews for URLs instructions instead of just a copy of the title with a frame around it.

If that is not a feature yet, I would like to request it. All other Lemmy apps I am currently testing show link preview, so the Liftoff timeline looks kinda weird.

Other than that I really like the clean UI design!

  • You can get link preview on other apps like voyager or Thunder. Not sure those esre available for ios though.

    • I know, also some other apps like Memmy or Mlem. But these have other deficiencies like integration of some video services or such. I am testing a couple of them to find the best Lemmy user experience. Liftoff is already pretty good and one of my favorites, only the repeated link title instead of a preview annoys me a bit. But I don’t think that this should be a major issue, so I’m hoping that this feature will come over time.

  • There's a setting called "show thumbnails" or similar, make sure that's turned on. Here's how that post looks from my end

  • You should see previews in more posts in 0.10.10. If you reply with any examples that still aren’t working for you, we can have a look.
