Description
### Your use case
Opening a room with messages containing a URL is a pain since it takes a while until the URL preview was gathered by the homeserver. This moves all messages around a lot.
_matrix.org_ homeserver might be fast but there are a lot more slower homeservers out there.
Issue could be solved if the preview was generated in the background, right when the messages comes in and not just when a user opens the room.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
Wait a couple of seconds until message jumping has ended.
