I can fetch the damn thumbnail just fine. I have to do it on every YT post I submit.
Reddit can fetch thumbnails from hundreds of websites, all of them different, including a bunch of porn sites. Pretty sure they have to code each site to map out the right URL and tags to parse.
I know Lemmy is OSS, but I really wish it wasn't so slow on the uptake with these things.
