Is this a problem on nostr?

“With Mastodon being a federated platform (a part of the Fediverse), the request to generate a link preview is not generated by just one Mastodon instance. There are many instances connected to it who also initiate requests for the content almost immediately.

And, this "fediverse effect" increases the load on the website's server in a big way.”

While it's a bit centralizing, I like njump.me for sharing a link mostly because it produces a good link preview. (also because clients offer it as a link to grab)

Since so many of the clients do create good previews, we're all linking the same link which should improve cacheability
