Describe the problem that you'd like solved

We don't have a great social preview for collections. It doesn't show a little text about the collection or image.

Here is FB's tool to improve social share.

What it looks like on Facebook:

I'm sure it is just as bad on other apps.

Proposal & Constraints

Perhaps we can grab the first few hundred characters and set it as the description.
Grabbing the first image would be nice too.

I'd be very happy to take this on! Looks like the existing code for the list preview could be relatively simply re-used for this purpose as well. 😊

Heads up @mekarpeles -- just unassigned myself from this, as I won't reasonably have the time to devote to it around all my other fellowship work and I've already completed the part I was most excited about (#9224). 🙂
