I’d look at your theme. It appears like you set the opengraph image many times, and LinkedIn is defaulting to the first but other platforms are not. This is in your head. I’m not positive how you’re doing opengraph-- the plug in, your theme, etc.
Interesting insight, thanks! I am not doing anything special - it’s pretty much the stock “Paper” theme I installed from the Plug-ins page. I added some disqus html to the bottom of a template, but otherwise I haven’t done anything. So I guess it’d be impacting everyone using that theme?
Yes, very likely. Paper has a very complex set of templates for opengraph. Notably, Hugo itself has a stock way of doing this without needing that override.
It turned out my version of the paper theme did not override the opengraph template, but was using the stock Hugo version, which was outputting every image. I modified the template to output a single og:image, and it hasn’t helped. You can see an example here: Consistent, request-local state - JP Camara
Huh, yea it looks great on their website! I’ve attached images of how it looks on x.com when attempting to post, and of the results on x.com and mastodon. I have no idea why it isn’t working there.
Thanks for the initial suggestion @jsonbecker ! I’m not sure if it just took some time for X/Mastodon to catch up, but after updating my template to only produce one opengraph image, the next time I posted a new blog post (a few days ago) the preview worked!
