Comment:

 It looks like the `https://info.africarxiv.org/` home page advertises an
 oEmbed URL of `https://info.africarxiv.org/embed/`, which redirects back
 to `https://info.africarxiv.org/` and causes the unstyled/confusing embed
 in the editor.

 Other pages such as `https://info.africarxiv.org/about/` work fine with
 the advertised `https://info.africarxiv.org/about/embed/`.

 I tested another site with a static page set for the home page and it also
 advertises the endpoint incorrectly. I wonder if there could be a bug
 there? Somewhat related: #35067

 (I think this ticket can be closed, though I am wondering about the static
 home page embed now) :)

 Related to the linking of non-oEmbed supporting URLs:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/12095 added the "Try again"
 and "Convert to link" options to make the experience a little better when
 using a URL that does not support oEmbed.
