When you first share a page Facebook seems to cache it once, and after that you have to tack on the ?v1 or something to the end of the same url to make Facebook re-scrape it or whatever you call it (to get OG meta tags/image to fill post).
Wonder if they could do something similar, cache the current contents of the page.
- tyingq 9y agoAhh, the AMP model. Once the big 4 or 5 move that way, we're almost back to the original AOL model of a privately held "internet". Funny how things circle round.

- ge96 9y agoI was just replying to that immutable thought and putting in spam crap but if it originates from facebook and not the people who posted the content... I don't know. I can't stand facebook but the ads are good haha (as a person advertising). Just a wall of crap, it's a time sink. Granted I waste time elsewhere anyway.
- corobo 9y agoOn a related but only just tangent you can force refresh Facebook's cache of a page using their lint tool (now named debugger) https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
- ge96 9y agoCool that's good to know, I wrote a url parser that builds the template pages and I hadn't factored in the addition of extra ? query parameters ahhh Good thanks
