Custom Social Media Previews
What is a social media preview card?
Social media previews (referred to on Twitter as Twitter cards), are the little previews of websites you see when you share a link.
These previews come from open graph meta tags that are embedded in the destination page.
Linkly allows you to override these previews with your own title, image and description.
