When you share Divsly links on Facebook, they are treated as though the original long URL was shared directly. For example, if you shorten a YouTube video link and share it on Facebook, it should appear the same as sharing the original YouTube link. However, if your links aren't displaying correctly, there could be issues with the destination page.

Steps to Resolve Display Issues

  1. Check the Destination URL: Ensure there are no issues with the original URL you are shortening.
  2. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger: This tool provides information on what might be going wrong. It also helps refresh the link preview cache on Facebook.
    • Visit the Facebook Sharing Debugger.
    • Enter your Divsly short link and click "Debug".
    • Follow the prompts to identify and resolve any issues.

By ensuring your destination URL is correct and using Facebook's tools, you can troubleshoot and resolve issues with how your links display on Facebook.
