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.

Using the "native" web UI, I get the same output from lemmy.ca and lemmy.world. It's not an embedded player, but you do seem to get a preview of the YT video. I do realize that you are probably asking about an IOS / Android app, but I assume that this is up to the app developer. Kind of like for Reddit, some apps would preview more image/GIF boards.

I’m using wefwef on safari , which isn’t a mobile app but a progressive web app (PWA). What I don’t understand is that I do see the previews in some communities, and not in others. I’ll reach out to the web dev see if this is a bug, or as expected. Thanks! :)

You appear to be using a 3rd party app to access lemmy.ca that I don't recognize. We can look at it if you let us know what you're using but to my knowledge no Lemmy app currently supports imbedded video. Lemmy's UI that you can access by going directly to Lemmy.ca that we run does not currently support video imbedding or previews.

Sorry to briefly go on a tangent away from the discussion, but I used to love your contributions on reddit, so it's very heartening to see you active on here. Makes it feel more like home 🤘
