"I wouldn't ever actually admit to enjoying the workplace chat app Slack (that would be horrifically uncool). But the data speaks for itself. Slack sends out a year-end wrap-up with data for its enterprise accounts, including which users posted the most lines of text. For 2024, I was Business Insider's second most prolific Slack poster, which is incredibly embarrassing and not a compliment at all."
"Whenever you post a link to an Instagram or Threads post in Slack, the link doesn't "unfurl" with a preview. Basically, it looks like this: If you're unfamiliar with Slack (or don't paste social media links into Slack because you use it like a responsible professional), the thing is that posts from X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and even BlueSky do actually work!"
Slack no longer generates preview unfurls for Instagram and Threads links when pasted into chats. Other social platforms such as X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and BlueSky continue to produce inline previews in Slack. Slack previously generated preview unfurls for Instagram posts until roughly two years ago. The absence of previews inconveniences users who frequently share social posts in workplace chats. Possible causes include changes to platform access or APIs by Meta rather than deliberate corporate spite. The issue reduces the convenience of viewing social media content directly inside Slack.
