Bug description

Screenshot 2023-02-21 212746 (2)

As above appears in all embeds whether sharing by discord, Whatsapp, Messenger, Facebook, Chrome and so on.

To confirm on the theming page all icons and logos have been set to my custom png image with a size of 32x32 and 256x256. In all other ways the logos/favicon appears as it should, but seems to have dissappeared with embeds since the latest NC edition 25.0.3.

Steps to reproduce
  1. share a file via link.
  2. logo appears when sent.
Expected behavior

custom favicon/logo should appear.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing a file-link share with a customized Nextcloud favicon and inspect the metadata used by external embeds; done means the custom favicon appears instead of the default Nextcloud icon.
