Does anyone know how to get a micro.blog hosted site with its own domain name to show text previews in an app like Apple’s Messages? If I link the URL from a micro.blog source I get a preview. If I link the URL from my domain I don’t.

@mrbeefy I’m not even sure how to get a MB link for one of my posts. Everything I’ve tried gives me a larand.one link. Which doesn’t show a preview.

@mrbeefy Yeah, now that I look, it seems like the plug-in doesn't do short text. Might be worth going to help.micro.blog and asking about this. Looks like the creator isn't updating the plug-in but maybe someone there could help somehow.
