This is a simple that adds an activity button to the admin toolbar in the fron-end. Once a user (logged in) clicks on the button the activity form will pop up. The form will have a text area for the user to enter anything he want to post in his activity. 
When the user submit the form the plugin will post the info to his activity stream.

Wbcom Designs – Activity Link Preview For BuddyPress

Not a fan of all their plugins but this one does the job perfectly (now that the fixes I suggested have been implemented). Highly recommended.

Works as it says


Thank you for making this and putting it out for free. It isn't easy to find link preview features sometimes. 



Even if it has to be a pro/paid version, you might think about finding a way to have the link preview's image uploaded to wp-content uploads and then served from there. I'm sure that's not super easy to do, but in order for this to work consistently and work well on larger sites, the images need to get cached or hosted within the same WordPress installation.


Simple and effective
