It's a toggle setting. I like it, it offers a standardized view of the destination while inviting the recipient to join and engage in the threadiverse.

Yeah this is annoying because I like to share the link to a post instead of just an image so people can get used to Lemmy but with the veger link the posts don't unfurl so it just looks like a weird link.

Glad its a choice though so people can choose what they want

I had to change it back to the old way case they don’t embed on discord. They just put a tiny thumbnail and no content.

Simply switched it to ‘local instance’ instead. Kinda shitty thing to switch it by default.
