    Getting Lemmy(and other fedi services) to fully support linking videos would help. Piefed and and other platforms support it pretty well.

    for example: https://piefed.social/post/398574

    direct link vs just the url. Lemmy will not work with the direct link like this nor the comments appearing in both instances.

      It used to work fine in Lemmy, but somewhere along the line it seems to have broken.

        Yeah it’s been a little less than a year since it stopped working. I saw the GH issues, looks like the Lemmy devs took the position the Peertube devs need to fix…something with activityhub. I hope they fix things. Lemmy development vs the actual instances seem a bit more fragmented than the rest of the fediverse.

        I tried to take a look with my local Lemmy instance but it looks like the issue resides in how different Lemmy uses activityhub than other software. I don’t claim to know why they made the change but they seem to be the odd one out.
