@anthropy My current curiosity is just social media links. Open Graph previews don't work in encrypted chats, right? Since obviously the server can't read the URL to pull a preview into the media cache. I assume there's no way to flip on Open Graph previews client-side in Element then, right? :confused_dog:
@Rusty@anthropy opengraph previews are only fetched if the client asks for it, which on element only happens in unencrypted chats or in encrypted chats where you have turned it on in the chat settings.
Web clients can’t fetch the opengraph preview themselves due to CORS
@charlotte@Rusty beat me to it. I was looking around for it, but it's a room-specific setting that you can enable, disable, I just found it, it looks like this:
@anthropy@charlotte AHHH thank you :pupper_wag: That setting is exactly what I was looking for. I only want them enabled in a handful of chats so I don't completely overwhelm my media cache from all the Telegram group chats I'm in. :blobfoxmeltsob: Glad it's an opt-in thing.
I really should read up on how CORS works exactly :blobfoxthinkgoogly:
@charlotte@anthropy Reading the docs it looks like expired media cache is yeeted after 1 hour by default, so yeah :drgn_sigh: Well now I wouldn't mind an account-wide patch.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to do with group chat media. What's even considered a group chat and what's considered a "People" chat is still incredibly opaque to me. :neofox_what:
