@yoasif interesting proposal, I have been thinking about Link Previews for clients, a typical concern there is CORS. But I didn’t see anything addressing that in the proposal.

I think the previews should be federated along with the activity. The main issue described by itsfoss and the mastodon bug is not about previews themselves generating a lot of traffic but federated nature of fediverse multiplying the number of requests. If along with the post/toot/w-v the preview got sent out too, that might ease the load on the publishing host
replies:
This will just lead to more requests being made.
Also anonymous requests, like those done by Mastodon to generate previews should be cached at the CDN or web server level, making them inexpensive to serve.
