Greetings appreciated @crypto.piotr.
First of all congratulations on the first publication of @project.hope.
In my opinion the first option is the most appropriate. It is always friendlier to accompany the publications with an image that refers to the subject of it.
When I have shared a post on Telegram, the image always appears accompanying the link. That is, I just paste the link and go.
In my personal experience I have never noticed that only the link without an image is published. I will have to be more attentive from now on.
Your friend, Juan.
