Show link previews on Discord
Jun 19, 2026
The links for storygraph when shared on discord don't show any preview at all. I think it would be nice if they at least showed title and author. The book cover of the edition linked where available would also be cool!
I seem to be under the impression this lies with the site itself (so storygraph in this case) rather than the program and that it may depend on version. I'm using discord on Linux so that might be part of the issue.

I'm not sure why our link previews don't show up everywhere, to be honest!
Nadia I did a cursory web search and I'm definitely not a developer of any degree, but this might be the culprit? https://dev.to/proovd_c81d2f975d1adf3b6a/why-your-link-preview-isnt-showing-up-on-discord-or-slack-and-how-to-actually-fix-it-n68
bibliomouse I'll have to look into this. If this is it, it must be that the og:image is too small because we have all of those meta tags and the previews show up in other places. Going to update the title of this post to so the ask is clearer.
Nadia I can't see the title change so I wanted to nudge you in case it didn't take 🙏
bibliomouse I meant I updated the title of this post from "Improve Discord Integration" to "Show link previews on Discord". You can't see that change?
Nadia oh I can! I mistook what the post was called previously. Sorry about that!
bibliomouse No problem! Haven't looked at this yet, but I will one day.
