Why is it that some communities show a video/site preview and some don’t? Is it an instance setting? Image example of one where it’s not working as you would expect.

    You appear to be using a 3rd party app to access lemmy.ca that I don’t recognize. We can look at it if you let us know what you’re using but to my knowledge no Lemmy app currently supports imbedded video. Lemmy’s UI that you can access by going directly to Lemmy.ca that we run does not currently support video imbedding or previews.

      I’m using wefwef on Safari. I’m not really expecting being able to watch the video but more of a preview/image of it like you would a website? It seems to work in some communities and not others. I’ll reach out to the wefwef devs to see if this is a bug or if it’s an instance/community setting.

      Sorry to briefly go on a tangent away from the discussion, but I used to love your contributions on reddit, so it’s very heartening to see you active on here. Makes it feel more like home 🤘
