Post is displaying URL image in Thunder but not Voyager

Hi,

I'm comparing Lemmy Android app clients and I'm between Thunder and Voyager.

I noticed something weird with Voyager. There was this post it displays an image in the timeline using Thunder but it doesn't in Voyager.

Is it some configuration that I need to tweak in Voyager?

Also, is there some config to display short text about the post if has image? Like some description below if available

Thanks

You might have the "scrape missing link previews" setting enabled in Thunder. It's in general settings.

Instances will provide a preview thumbnail for links, but will sometimes fail to find one for a given link.

Thunder is able to have a second go at finding an image to display with a link, when the instance doesn't provide one with a given link.

There is a setting for displaying a text preview of the post body, in settings>appearance>posts.

You can also just search the settings to find these.

How does it works? Technically is it connecting directly to the website and retrieving a thumbnail?

Edit: BTW, mine is off. Do you also see the image when you open the link using your Thunder Android app ?

Yes, it goes and grabs a thumbnail directly from the website being linked.

I do not get an image, I keep the setting off. Really odd that you do, then.

Am I the only one with this feature off and seeing the image?

I do not know.
