Mastodon: Preview cards not embedded with CW's

Created on 16 Nov 2017 · 3Comments · Source: tootsuite/mastodon

Preview cards are not embedded/displayed when it's behind a content warning.

Example:

When a toot contains a link to a Youtube video (and when it's the first link) the video is embedded in the full toot view. But when a toot has a content warning and you click 'show more' (in the full toot) only the link is displayed. The expected behavior is that the video is also embedded here.

[x] I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.
[x] This bug happens on a tagged release and not on master (If you're a user, don't worry about this).

@Gargron I don't understand exactly why. A content warning should not only hide text, but also the preview card. So there is no problem with spoilers as far as I can see.

It may be deliberate, but I don't understand why. If the user clicked to open the CW, they've indicated interest. Adding further clicks to get to the shared content is just annoying.
