Diaspora do not see WP embeded contents

Hi all,

Friends have asked me to create a website to publish their music and videos, and I don’t want to spend too much time on it and make them self-sufficient to source it. They want the media to be hosted outside of proprietary social networks (did you say GAFAM ???) and to remain under their control.

I imagined a solution where the media would be hosted on cloud storage that they would rent, with WP to create articles, publish media and these would be relayed by free social media, such as Diaspora, to allow them to ensure their communication.

I saw that Diaspora allows you to insert links from Youtube videos, Soundcloud, etc. using oEmbed technology. In my Diaspora posts, by refreshing the page, I actually saw the content displayed in addition to the link.

I looked for a solution to do the same from WP and found the “oEmbed Manager” plugin.

To test, I created a free WP here, added the plugin “oEmbed Manager”, a video media, published an article with the video in it, copied the video link, paste the link into a post from a test Diaspora account, refreshed the page and found .. . that there is no inserted content, only the link is displayed.

I looked with the “Inspector Selection Tool” in my Firefox browser.

For a video from Youtube, I have :

...
  <div class="oembed"><div data-template="oembed">        <div class="thumb">
            <img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ouvTudXsNtM/hqdefault.jpg" title="" style="">
            <div class="video-overlay">
              <div class="video-info">
                <div class="title">PeerTube : préparer l'alternative à Youtube - HS - Monsieur Bidouille</div>
                <div class="meta">
                  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/monsieurbidouille" target="_blank">monsieur bidouille</a>
                  -
                  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
        </div>
</div></div>
...

For a video from my test WordPress (article link which embed video or the video link alone), I have :

...
<div class="markdown-content">
      <p><a href="https://lnj-test-lmdp.byethost6.com/2021/07/04/hello-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lnj-test-lmdp.byethost6.com/2021/07/04/hello-world/</a></p>
  </div>
...

=> so I don’t have an “oembed” tag like with Youtube

How come ?
Is it normal that it doesn’t work ?
Is there something that I am doing wrong ?
Isn’t this the role of “oEmbed Manager” ?

Regards,
lnj
