Content was poorly processed.

Embedded link previews to internal articles should be there. Like in sample medium.com template.
Accepted by admin
I believe the issue is referring to the spacing of the text within the blockquote.

A single <br> is usually not equivalent to a paragraph's margin. So the Preview's text here is less readable than the original article's text.

This article does not have a clear cover image. Check og:image from metadata.

Extracting photo as a cover makes paragraph "Photo by" meaningless

I think this is not a cover image because the image is aligned to left. Only images aligned to the center should be cover image.

The problem with this video is although it could be technically retrieved direct link to it, it has "exp" parameter after that it wouldn't be available. Telegram uses caching for IV pages, so after some period of time link to video will be broken. Also it could and SHOULD be <iframe> as rules states (6.8.2), but iframe have "expires" parameter too.
Rodrigo Vieira
My first code for this video had this problem, it only worked for 1 hour, but if you remove the expires parameter, a new token always comes in and the video always stays active.
Declined by admin
Videos with expiration parameters will still work with mobile IVs, since the link would be valid at the time the mobile IV is cached, so the video would be cached too.

The IV Editor works differently than mobile IVs. The mobile IV and IV Editor to not share the same cache.

AFAIK telegram also caches _processed_ page, with all iframes inlined, etc. You could remove "expires" from <iframe> which allows to work template with cached source page, but you couldn't remove "exp" from video itself, because it's not gonna work. It works here, in preview, cause it always loads fresh source page instead of cached.
Rodrigo Vieira
Content from iframes must have a distinct cache working. If not, for every update of all supported Telegram widget would have expired content should anything be updated from there. If the video never expires here, it should work perfectly when the IV supports mp4.
Declined by admin
Yes, mobile IV would have its own cached video, so a video with an expiration parameter can still work on mobile IV due to video caching.
