Roll20 oneboxes poorly

Expected: This should show a relevant preview of the page's content.
Observed: All it shows is that this is Roll20. One might be forgiven for thinking, at first glance, that it was a link to the homepage.

You should tell them.

Much embedding is broken, including things that used to work until fairly recently.Also, I think embedding depends on information the embedded site sends. If the embedded site sends the wrong data, there's no way for iframely to display the right data inside
. Github is another example that always displays "support this project..." regardless of what the link points to inside the project.

Sites have to send good oembed information:

Iframely URL Debugger - Open Graph, Twitter Cards, oEmbed
Check your URL against Open Graph, Twitter Cards, oEmbed specs. See what other apps see.
Working as intended.
