Ah, diaspora grabbed the wrong link. But the right link is in there. If you click "The Best AI Tools Directory in 2024 | MyBestAITool" right above the hashtags, it will take you to the right place.

I think this is the first time diaspora grabbed the wrong link for the preview. Wonder why.

I'm suspecting that the page preview HTML on the linked page was mis-configured and that confused the D* markup engine. I'm assuming the markup engine visits the linked page to read the page's meta tags before it publishes your post.

I always wondered how the link preview feature worked, so I just looked into it and find that the concept of link previewing first starts with the use of meta tags in the HTML header of the linked page, then a couple of meta tag standards were created by facebook and twitter which have been adopted generally, which enabled the use of markup engines which know how to read the meta tags according to the standard types.

Here's a page that goes through the meta tag URL link preview standards. It's a marketing presentation, but it is a convenient overview of the defacto standard meta tags.

Pitch.com does have OpenGraph tags, but I'm skeptical that that's what caused this as that's very common and I suspect I would've experienced it before if having OpenGraph tags was all it takes.

The preview page fetch by the D* markup engine would use correct the text link above [mybestaitool dot com] to obtain the preview info. Looking at the page source of best tool, it looks like the meta tags has the preview info in javascript code. Way out of my knowledge at any rate.
