If you go to [email protected] and scroll you’ll see some of the posts have a youtube thumbnail image, but not all.

I wanna post YouTube videos, but no one seems to engage much without a thumbnail, which makes sense, but I’m not sure what would result in the post actually having a thumbnail

If anyone has advice or guidance I’d appreciate it :) Thanks!

EDIT: so far it seems like it’s potentially a combination of what version of lemmy the posters account is running, and how that instance is configured…

    I tried again with a youtu.be link and unfortunately no dice, so it seems it might be an instance issue, I’m gonna go take a look at the videos comm and see if there’s anyone on .world who posted and got a thumbnail. I might also try again from my .ee account
