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…

    Okay so it seems like the only people getting thumbnails on [email protected] are from shitjustworks.

    No dice on using my .ee account though, that didn’t seem to result in a thumbnail either. But in the app I’m using, when on my .ee account there’s a field to put in a thumbnail URL which is interesting
