If anyone's looking for a project to do in Rust, Lemmy could really use an Iframely replacement. (github.com)

Iframely is our embed / picture thumbnail fetcher for external sites. But its extremely heavy, unreliable ( crashes a lot ), and doesn't build for ARM.

And doesn't seem to show correctly the preview for YouTube hahahahahaha.

This last issue was also happening in Element because of the curl useragent they used.

They might've fixed that, at least a few days ago I saw a youtube thumbnail go through. I imagine enough people complained about it.

Well, seems that only workarounds at user level are done.

I was confused at the time of writing and put that was Element's fault but was Synapse's fault.

Would this do what y'all need? https://github.com/kumabook/opengraph of course after posting I realize it hasn't been updated since 2018 😥

Yes that would be helpful actually.

Hmm, so a service that you send a URL to, via REST request, and then it fetches the thumbnail/content, wraps some HTML around it, and then responds with that to the REST request?

That sounds like a rather big project...

It doesn't need to wrap html, only serve up json.
