How to optimize images for Lemmy thumbnails?

My website How do I get the thumbnails to show up when the article links are shared on Lemmy? I tried metatags, changing the aspect ratio and the image format. Nothing seems to work. Here are some of the failed results.: !theglitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com Any help would be appreciated.
