Facebook like/share doesn't find text on my pages - HTML structure?

I have a page that is being shared on facebook a decent amount: https://www.sittingaround.com/

However, none of the ways of sharing it on facebook find the text on the page (addthis buttons, stumbleupon toolbar, from facebook). I expect this is something to do with facebook expecting my HTML to have a certain structure that my site does not have. I have ruled out HTTPS as the issue by sharing https://github.com which is able to find text.

This problem exists on all of my pages, not just the homepage.

I've looked through a fair amount of the facebook documentation and stack overflow questions, but haven't found a solution.

Thanks.

You're required to use the Open Graph Protocol to enable facebook crawler to read your page. A simple test could be done with help of Facebook URL linter
