Option to disable link cards #6503

Describe the Feature

It be great to have an option to remove all link previews from my feed. Just show the link with no context instead of adding a image. This would make my feed more condensed and less noisy

Alternatively provide a way to remove link cards from some some users such as the following https://bsky.app/profile/krxiv-gr-qc.bsky.social

Or alternatively consider removing pictures from link cards, so my feed can look like https://old.reddit.com

Ideally. I should be able to configure a feed to provide a "condensed view".

This would allow me to create condensed feeds for hackernews and arxiv feeds.

One issue I could see with this is that currently when you remove a URL from a post, the link card for it stays, allowing you to create a post with a link card but without the URL for it.

No idea if that's a bug or intentional, but people currently do use it as a feature. Hiding link cards globally would also mean that it would hide them from these posts, leading to missing information.

I'm pretty sure that's a design choice (which I agree with fwiw), as a link card has a separate data structure within a post record.

So the user can choose to have a regular bare link in the text of their post, bare link and link card, or link card only.
