URL unfurling issue in certain applications

[tangodev]

Please add URL unfurling to DTube.

Which of the below links are you more willing to click on?

I assume most people will click the one with the image. Yet, both links point to the same video, but the DTube link doesn't get resolved into a card.

This is bad, because:

• it makes DTube look like an amateur "YouTube knockoff"
• there are less clicks
• creators can't showcase their talent and skills as effectively on DTube compared to YouTube

I'm not sure about the effort required to make this possible, but IMHO it should be worth it.

This already works without the #! in URL

It also works with the #! in URL but for some reason not for Discord
