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.

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.
It seems to be working fine on our local UI so I'm assuming it's on wefwef's end.
When I use a browser to navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/listentothis I don’t see thumbnails either though. Hmm.
Can you try making a new video link post? The image service was having some issues before moving to the new server.
Mine seems to work! https://lemmy.ca/post/1111317
Does it work in the app as well?
If it does we will attribute it to an issue that's been resolved.
Yes it does! Thanks :)
