MODERATORS
There are people on shitjustworks posting youtu.be links on !videos@lemmy.world that do have thumbnails, so whatever they're doing doesn't seem to have that problem
My .ee account has a field to put in a thumbnail URL, so other comments in this thread are kinda leading me to believe it may be a combination of instance version, and how the instance is configured
My Lemmy instance actually can't fetch YouTube thumbnail, so I actually have to put it manually lol.
See http://www.get-youtube-thumbnail.com/
Thats a super helpful site, thank you! If nothing else now I can remake my post from my .ee account and add the thumbnail manually
