One thing that I neglected to mention is that since the SRI hashes are calculated, previews can be cached by peers other than the originating host - since they are verifiable, anyone can pass them along and the client can verify the payload.

Not something I really fleshed out in discovery, but if there is interest, that might make it more production ready.

Okay - it would have been nice to learn where the proposal fails, but I understand that I can’t access your expertise for free. Take it easy!

It really feels like you didn’t read my post. I specifically called out caching as a concern, and even if we see more requests, they will be cheap to serve.

Thanks for letting me know! 🥰

It’s annoying to have to create a new account since federation from mbin to Lemmy doesn’t seem to work across many instances. That and adding a thumbnail to many Lemmy communities simply strips the shared link.
