It maybe is a bug?

The thief vs AAA leads to a youtube video but looks like a picture, the post beneath is also a yt video but clearly shows it opens external.

The one text post shows none and therefore it’s known text.

The top post is a clickable picture

Yes this is a little confusing… I like the idea of adding a url preview to posts to show what you’re actually opening before tapping on a link from a post. This would eliminate confusion altogether whether it opens an app like YT or a website.

It could literally just be the main handle of the website ex. youtube.com, imgur.com, lemmy.world etc., doesn’t have to show the full url.

Yeah, that would be great to avoid opening YouTube on mobile data 🥲
