Creator Marketplace is missing metadata for embedding

As a Roblox developer, it is a bad experience trying to embed creator marketplace links on the forum (or anywhere else).

On this forum an ugly embed that is missing information is created, and everywhere else (e.g. Discord) no embed is created. This makes it difficult to advertise my creations on and off of the forum because either the link is small and easy to miss on a thread full of information, or it just looks unappealing.

Because of this, I have had to craft my own link in a thread for one of my plugins.

Comparing the creator marketplace with the library on the Roblox website:
Marketplace: https://create.roblox.com/marketplace/asset/7715732696/Descendant-Viewer
Roblox: Descendant Viewer - Roblox

Discord:

At least the name of the asset is shown.

Developer Forum:

Discourse outright says that the link cannot be previewed, not even a nice title.


Roblox should specify the correct information on these pages so they can embed with icon, title, and description. This would be a big step up from even the library on the Roblox website because the icon is currently inconsistent, and no description is provided.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my ability to easily share my content.

This is becoming increasingly more important as Roblox no longer intentions of updating the roblox.com/library pages which were previously the only way of getting nice embeds.

Iā€™d love for a way to link my plugins, decals, images and meshes from the Creator Hub with their icon and maybe the start of their description. It would make them much more enticing to click on, as opposed to the Creator Hub link that every asset has at the moment.
