Description
This issue has been migrated from [#16542](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16542).
---
Fallback protocol handlers, as defined here: https://fedilinks.org/2 should be used to provide link previews for web+* URIs.
This would help promote web+* URIs, which are a limited form of composable URIs designed for compatibility with existing computer systems. Because we believe links should be able to work on a best-effort basis, with fallbacks to other protocols as needed. This would help with protocol proliferation. "Protocols, not platforms."
