Youtube link doesn't suggest video title and the descriptor is in what looks like Russian. I don't live in Russia or use their version of YT. What's going on?? (lemmy.world)

I know Google likes to localise their websites based on IP addresses. Perhaps the preview was requested from a Russian IP? (not necessarily yours, could be a VPN if you use one or one of LW's servers)

Currently not using a VPN. It's still happening. I'm not sure what I should do or can do.

Given the fact that there was an unintentional DDOS when federated Lemmy instances were requesting the same preview around the same time, it must be one of LW's servers, not anything on your side.

The only sure way to get rid of this effect is to use an instance entirely hosted on servers in anglophone countries, I think.
