Posting Piefed link on Mastodon now gives "login to Piefed" preview box (piefed.social)

Posting a piefed link on Mastodon used to result in a "preview box" (not sure of the right term) with:

a thumbnail of the first image in the post
the post title
the first line of the post

E.g. https://ohai.social/@klu9/114892796205984469

Now new posts I make on Mastodon with Piefed links give a preview box that only shows "log in to Piefed". (But the earlier posts on Mastodon still show the full preview box.)

I don't know if this is a result of a Piefed change or a Mastodon change. (Or if maybe it's a different PieFed post type? 'Discussion' vs 'Image' vs 'Link' etc)

Any way to make Mastodon+Piefed show the proper preview box?

Anibus is used by some instances, such as 50501.chat.

It can be a bit slow and frustrating, but better than closing down access completely I suppose.
