Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
Even youtube links aren't embedded and just open a new window which is a huge qol downgrade.

Says it supports peertube embed it but when I tried posting it would only take the url and then still didn't work.
YT embed is not that hard to do, it's basically just a few lines of code, nothing too hard. I have no idea why they would implement PeerTube embed, but not this...
It's probably because they want to promote FOSS, but it's just not viable in a world full of proprietery solutions π€·. You have to cater to the needs of the users.
I agree it seems like lemmy devs sometimes get blinded by their own desires over what the community wants or needs. The hardcoded filter being something they were extremely stubborn on and then caved anyway.
But yeah I'm not a webdev but I'm sure it's literally one of the easiest things to have youtube embed's work.
Trust me, it's really easy to implement. Almost all video platforms are. FB video embed is the hardest, cuz they change APIs all the time, but YT, Vimeo and the likes, they're super easy.
I just tried adding a video instead of a picture but I got an error.
Yeah, tried "forcing" it as well, no luck π.
I tried on mobile so maybe desktop has better results?
I also tried it in a browser on my phone, no luck π€·.
Aw πthanks for trying!
