The OpenGraph Protocol enables sites to serve metadata that can be used to create detail rich embeds on their own websites. Discord uses these to add embeds to linked sites.

There are multiple ways to do this, the easiest is editing your .sxcu file based on this documentation.
Here is an example:
Keep in mind that the OpenGraph Protocol applies to webpages. Not hot-linked images. This means that if you specify the "noembed" and/or "discord_hide_url" flags, your embed will not display, regardless of if you have specified your open_graph properties.
If you are using ShareX, you can specify your og_properties under your custom uploader settings as a field in the "multipart/form-data" drop-down.
Here's how that looks:
The official documentation for the file upload endpoint documents the "noembed" void. When specified in your upload, the response url will include a direct link to the uploaded file.

To regain access to your subdomain, you can create a suport ticket here and include your subdomain in addition to the following information depending on your situation:
If you lost your .sxcu file but still have access to your token: Include your token in your ticket as proof of subdomain ownership.
If you have neither your .sxcu file, nor a backup of your token: You may include your IP address in your ticket, this will be compared against uploads made to the subdomain in question. Please note, if you have a dynamic IP address that has changed since your last upload, you will have to find a way to provide a previous IP address we can use to verify your ownership status.
