How do you include a thumbnail in a video url post?
When posting a video url on Lemmy, is there any way to have the post display a picture of the video thumbnail? It would look so much better than gray squares with an outlink arrow in the corner.
How thumbnails to links and videos are displayed is up to the client itself. I don’t think there’s any way for you to force it to show up. I’d imagine as Lemmy grows, so will it’s features. Thumbnails are super useful, so I’d imagine it’s something clients would support in the future.
Beat I have seen so far is to make the thumbnail yourself, make it an image post, and include the video link in the description. But, that is a poor solution.
