   Nerdy #ActivityPub and #oEmbed question.

   Why can't I send an "Accept: application/json+oembed" request to a URl to receive the oEmbed version?

   Instead, I have to request the full page, look for the <link>, parse that, then request the oEmbed.

   Seems inefficient - but am I missing something?

     @Edent That's the OEmbed standard. While it would be cool to just get the right response for the right Accept header without fetching something from a different URL, that's not described in the spec.

     @Gargron Yet another thing for me to try and fix if I ever get any spare time!
