Website previews in Facebook posts are not being announced by voiceover as of of the past several weeks. This is true whether you are in the newsfeed itself or if you double tap to open the post to interact with it. You will hear the name of the Facebook user or page, The date of the post and the summary or caption they’ve typed as part of the post, but if they’ve included a link to a website, this is not announced at all.
Here is an example of what voiceover speaks aloud after I touch a post in the Facebook newsfeed. Notice you would have no idea there was a web link as part of this post because it is never announced:

I have the same.
Feedbacks go regularly.
FB has it in the nose.

I have the same issue. Facebook accessibility is a joke. In fact I'm convinced they don't exist, they just want us to think it does.
