I would have loved an actual description of the video, so I don’t have to click on it without knowing what it is…
Agreed. This is a lemmy bug. The OP is on mastodon (where video previews are fetched and displayed) and has no control over how its rendered over here. It’d be nice if lemmy fetched the title and description
That’s what happened to me a few weeks ago. Tried to post on mastodon something for a Lemmy istance and…same result. Not OP fault so stop downvoting as hell 😊
It’s not OP’s fault, but voting is how we’re supposed to curate content. This post doesn’t have a title or description so it’s a bad post on lemmy and I think downvoting it is acceptable. Don’t consider votes a reflection of a user’s value or standing
Actually the problem is o Mastodon side. Mastodon developer refuse to use the same standards as everyone else.
Right?
