Link previews

Would be nice to be able to preview links posted in a post.

This implies detecting theres a link on a given post and fetching its metadata.

We can do some proxying for the metadata to keep it private for the user.

Let's build it in a generic way we can replace the proxy strategy and test it out with https://trueproxy.net .

Would be awesome with an option to not include the previews in specific posts. I hate it when I post a bunch of links in Discord and my post becomes three metres long because it adds previews for everything. In Facebook Messenger one can click a little X to close the preview before sending a message, which causes the preview to not appear for that specific link.

In a number of platforms, it only pulls the meta data for the first link it encounters and ignores the rest. I like that
