Have to send link twice on Discord for embed to appear #4

I've noticed that sometimes when I send a vxreddit link on Discord it doesn't embed. I either have to send the link again, in which case the embed appears only under the second message, or edit the first message twice (original content -> edited content -> original content) and then the embed appears.

I'm guessing that when Discord is fetching the link for the first time, it errors or doesnt return an embed. One reason that comes to mind is that a cloud hosted instance of vxreddit might be offline when the first request comes, then start up because of that request, and then be ready when the second request comes.

I believe that might just be Discord, as I've noticed that generally with any kind of embedded links it can sometimes take a little while for it to show up.

Yup, this is most likely a discord thing
