Mastodon Link Previews
Mastodon tries to give people nice link previews for any URLs shared in posts. It generally does so by looking for metadata on the linked page in a specific order:
- JSON-LD
- OpenGraph (OG)
- Standard Meta Tags
When a page has data in these formats, Mastodon pulls the information it needs to display a title, description, image, and more.
What is JSON-LD?
JSON-LD is a way to embed structured data in a page using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It’s often used for things like Schema.org data or rich snippets. Mastodon scans for it first.
