New to itch.io, posting to discord shows Warning instead of Thumbnail

Hello there,

I want to share my mod with people on a specific discord. However, I've been informed that scammers have been using itch to trick users into downloading malicious software which results in this image being my thumbnail when I post my mod link in there. There's been other people posting mods on the discord just fine so I'm wondering if it's because the mod was uploaded yesterday and staff needs to review it or if I need to go through some kind of verification process I'm not aware of.

Please if you have any insight in an approximate time I need to wait for it to go away or where I should inquire to have the thumbnail change I'd be very thankful.

This is what shows up when I post the link to my mod on Discord

it looks like there has been so many scams made with ItchIO links that Discord or ItchIO themselves overrode all the ItchIO link previews with that thumbnail

Same happening here, I'm a long user of Itch.io but just posted the game here
