Social icon (Nodebb)

Hi Mark,
This title may not be relevant so feel free to change it.
I’m looking to add an image so when I post to social profiles etc it displays an image instead of the NodeBB logo.
How do I achieve this?
Many thanks

@jac Good question. I raised something similar on the NodeBB community
but, I never got a response
- however, there is an OG image (Open Graph) which you can apply at
/admin/settings/general
Which (I think) should give you a default image (which you of course specify by uploading) for sharing on social media.
EDIT - on checking, this does indeed work. Once the image is applied, the Open Graph tags are present in each post - see below

@jac I just tested my theory around using the OG image, and according to the Twitter card validator, it works fine
