Well since the link is to a Guardian news article, it’s the photo from the news article. I don’t think Lemmy allows us to choose a thumbnail, it defaults to whatever the original thumbnail picture is from the source.
Not really. When I post the URL Lemmy grabs the featured image. If you change the image, the URL breaks. So the mentioned workaround of posting the link in the body does work, it’s just clunky.
Would be nice if Lemmy let you choose what image to use when posting a link. (Or is there a way?)
