I believe this goes for back end as there is caching of cards which tells me this might be a back end issue rather then a front end.

as an example page: https://beefox.xyz/post/daily/glass-onion has a meta tag <meta property="og:image:alt" content="An onion made of glass">, this is not reflected in the alt text of the card generated when linking to this page. The image appears on the card, the alt text does not appear on the image

+1 to this. It certainly does look ugly. Esp the home page - no identifying logo. Perhaps the favicon could be fetched?

Take a look at the OG generated for https://thought.blue/. Very unprofessional.

that seems 100% correct for the above

that page does not have any favicon, nor any og tags in its top page

that's running pleroma+soapbox, so nothing we can do about that

@floatingghost. So akkoma does come with an OG? It's the same case with https://cdrom.tokyo and it seems to run on akkoma. And it's not running on soapbox and they have a favicon.

Richtext is generated server side, not client side (hence the issue being opened here and not on pleroma-fe)

As for thought.blue, that issue seems to be on their end as:

They do not have any open graph meta tags
This issue is not about akkoma's meta tags, but how it renders other sites meta tags.

For the thought.blue's issues, you should open an issue on the correpsonding repos that thought.blue uses for their frontend
