Description

I tend to post each This Month in Rust OSDev to users.rust-lang.org so folks who use that and not Reddit get the chance to see it, and I've noticed it doesn't generate a rich preview (the box with the description instead of just the link).

I thought it would be enough to create the description meta tag like we do at the moment, but perhaps it needs OpenGraph tags? If someone knows more about this, it would be good if we could get this working.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the current description meta tag on the homepage and checking how its links appear when posted to users.rust-lang.org. Determine which metadata the rich preview requires, then verify that a posted page shows the expected description box instead of only a link.
