FatalErrorCoded (fatalerrorcoded@miruku.cafe)'s status on Wednesday, 11-Jan-2023 08:08:42 JST FatalErrorCoded @thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me There's the OpenGraph specification, and while it says that it's mainly for resolving conflicts, some sites do use the multiple tags to show more than one image

Andy (pixel@desu.social)'s status on Wednesday, 11-Jan-2023 08:21:02 JST Andy @thatonecalculator afaik no embed supports sending/showing more than one image.
to show multiple, you would need to implement something server-side that combines the images beforehand when the embed gets requested
