If you go to !videos@lemmy.world 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 dunno, but it depends on the instance. Here’s a screenshot from lemmus.org:
And here’s the same community seen from lemmy.sdf.org:
Interesting, so I guess maybe the reason shitjustsworks users posting on !videos@lemmy.world are showing up as thumbnails for me is because their instance is getting the thumbnail and that’s federating to me on .world
Here it is from lemmy.ca (sorted by new):
