[Feature request] summaries for text links (lemmy.ca)

Text links to external sites are a bit bare right now. It would be great if we could dhow a short snippet of the content or some sort of preview for links to know more before clicking on them. I'm not sure if this can be done without an additional request?

Thanks!

The way Sync did it for reddit was a link icon and a domain name (e.g. theverge.com) which was enough to let me know it would initiate a browser action and an idea of where.

This might be out of Connect's hands. We do get some fields back from the API (embedTitle, embedDescription) but nothing I could really use here.
