When posting a link to an Imgur album, actually show the link to the album
When I post a link to an Imgur album, what's displayed is only the first image. It doesn't appear to be possible to get to the album itself - the link to the album is not displayed.

This USED to work correctly (more or less) but then some recent change made it so image links hide the original URL and convert it. For imgur galleries, this causes major issues as I can't force-post it as a URL as far as I can tell. I have to chop the https:// off the link, which is just worse for everyone.

Can confirm, currently have to break the link up and ask people to copy and paste the different parts together in order to share albums. While the feature is great for single image links, it's really not worth the hassle for albums atm.

Workaround for the moment: post the album link along with any other text on the same line, and the link should go through. Still supremely annoying though.

Yeah, still not fixed as far as I know. It's especially bad with long images like this: https://imgur.com/a/4qjyZK8
Imgur displays them fine, but Discord likes to grab a really low-res jpeg that you can't zoom in to on the discord application itself.
Edit: a workaround I just realized is to add other text to the message besides the URL, which displays the message (and consequently the URL too) and the image preview as well.

There's a simple workaround, you put <> around the link. It prevents a link from showing a preview
