An issue when posting a post with a link (lemmy.world)

For some reason, the link in the post I've just made appears twice: under the title (red on the screenshot), and as a link preview above the post body (blue on screenshot). All other post only have the link under the title, but no preview.

Most other posts look totally different and have the link only appear once under the title (for example, this one: https://lemmy.world/post/14822763).

How do I fix this? Because I couldn't find any "hide the link preview" button in the post editor?

Yeah there is no option to hide the embed.

But why does it appear in my post but not in posts of others'? Is it link-specific, or something?

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Its link specific, if a link leads to a page that supports it then it shows it.

I believe it has to do with what metadata the link provides, which not everyone provides

That makes sense. Thank you for your help.
