Inconsistent embed behavior with """blank""" markdown links

Observed behaviour

It does not embed when just [] but generates an embed when [ ]

Reproduction steps

  1. Post a "blank" markdown link e.g. [](https://fluxer.app)
  2. Note there is no embed
  3. Edit a space into the bracket e.g. [ ](https://fluxer.app)

Details

Expected behaviour I'm not sure, but it should be consistent. Since in these scenarios, the link is not clickable, it probably should not embed?
