Alongside the standard preview attributes (`title`, `description`, `image`), `REDDIT_USER` links provide rich metadata about a user’s karma, profile images, and creation date. This helps you integrate Reddit users into your application with detailed, authentic previews. ## What It Includes When `type` is `REDDIT_USER`, the response includes a `redditUser` object with fields like: * **username & name:** The Reddit handle and optional display name. * **Avatar fields:** Multiple avatar or banner images (including flattened and background variants) that let you choose from different representations or layouts. * **bio:** A short biography or user description. * **karma, postKarma, commentKarma:** Metrics reflecting the user’s engagement and contribution style. * **joinedAt:** The date and time when the user’s account was created. By leveraging these details, you can create user profiles that highlight an individual’s Reddit history, reputation, and personality. ## Example Request ```bash theme={null} curl -X POST
