Research direction
Investigate how posts are currently rendered and where previews are generated in the diaspora codebase. Look at the Post model and related views. Check for existing oEmbed or OpenGraph libraries in the Gemfile. The preview likely requires fetching metadata from the linked URL, so explore how to integrate an oEmbed consumer or implement OpenGraph parsing.
