Note, that screenshot is from the official instance.

I updated my personal instance, and it's different, but still not correct: Image No images and the article doesn't contain the article.

The JPG attachments display as images in my feed reader, FreshRSS.

About whether it should contain the article, I did not intend that it should. It is pulling the same metadata used for link previews in Discord, Facebook, etc.

Interesting. Well if you have the ability/interest to add a way to pull articles it would be greatly appreciated.

My use of RSS is to be able to easily read plaintext from an ereader so I don't have to deal with huge bloated websites while just trying to read text.

OK to retire the bridge in that case.
