Hey,
I share OpenGameArt links on Reddit all the time but they never generate a thumbnail. Can the content page be changed to the effect that Reddit is able to take a thumbnail?
Not sure how this is done.
See here for the amount of OpenGameArt links and lack of thumbnails:

Yeah, I'm not entirely certain how to go about it. I'll look into it. It may or may not require cooperation from Reddit.
Hey,
Here's a discussion on reddit about this very topic:

Here's the site that describes the metadata reddit will respect (along with other sites like Facebook, WordPress, and several others):

Okay, so it turns out that this was implemented a while ago, but in a way that was apparently buggy. We were actually exporting a comma-separated list of all preview images, but the standard only supports one, as far as I know. This is fixed, but it may only work for new links, and even then it might depend on whether or not Reddit is looking for them on OGA.
If it still doesn't work, we'll probably have to see if we can talk to Reddit, assuming we're big enough to get their attention.
Thanks bart and William, will check back with you if it doesn't work out!
