Butt<p>one issue i encountered: the official <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/api" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>api</span></a> works, you can add hashtags, links, and create longer messages (threads)</p><p>however, the links are only clickable, no <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thumbnail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thumbnail</span></a> and other information are shown directly ⟶ which is done for you <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/automatically" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>automatically</span></a> by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linkedin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linkedin</span></a> as an example</p><p>so the solution is, we need to fetch some data ourselves and then pass them to the link card. we might use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/requests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>requests</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/httpx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>httpx</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeautifulSoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeautifulSoup</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selenium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selenium</span></a>, or my current favorite <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>playwright</span></a></p>
