Question 1

Does lobste.rs have a Twitter card configured?

Accepted Answer

No - lobste.rs does not set a `twitter:card` meta tag. Twitter may not render any preview at all, or may try to fall back to Open Graph tags.

Question 2

Does lobste.rs declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

lobste.rs sets `og:image` but does not include `og:image:width` and `og:image:height`. Explicit dimensions let platforms render the preview faster without downloading the image first.

lobste.rs's social headline is "Lobsters" (8 characters).

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Review the recommendations above - they list specific issues and provide ready-to-paste meta tag snippets. The highest-impact fixes are usually a properly sized `og:image` (1200×675), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
