YouTube videos cannot be embedded. At least not yet.
ah ok, good to know!
the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway
But I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.

GIF:
Video:
Audio:
These are all nicely embedded on Lemmy. At least on the website.
Direct comment link so you can check it through Lemmy: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1084675
@user224 @retronet tried both the Mastodon website in firefox and also Mona (MacOS client) and I get… nothing
(trying my own screenshots from Mastodon (Mona) to see how those appear)
welp I'm back on Lemmy and I see my Mastodon screenshots didn't come over? :(
here they are from Lemmy
So I guess only option is direct links. It is good idea to include those anyway for compatibility.
Fwiw, though the media didn't embed for me, they all did show up as links.
Are you going through the website or some app?
I tested it with these:
Opera 74 (Android 11): Works
Firefox 104 (Manjaro): Works
Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7): Doesn't format the website correctly, though media was embedded into the mess
Viewing with voyager.
Yeah, I see nothing over here from your side.
@user224 @retronet I guess media just straight up doesn't federate
oh well its still cool to be able to view, reply, or submit text between systems for now
