The website has an og:image Open Graph image configured in _config.yml, and that is this image: humane-tech-community-ogimage.png.

It shows up in link previews on the Discourse forum, so it works. But LinkedIn shows a blank grey space, instead of the image. Might be the notorious bugginess of LinkedIn, or it's too long caching of prior link previews.

Need to check if there is something wrong in the Open Graph metadata, though. Just to be sure.

I also checked this via my mobile phone. Same results. Additionally Twitter doesn't show the Open Graph previews, but they use different metadata settings than og:image. Maybe LI does so too.

Need to check the entire SEO. Closing in favor of #4.
