when it's a youtube link, it often helps scrollers to know the channel name or creator:
or something like that, otherwise it means opening in a private window to check
I always make sure to do this, with the channel name in brackets at the front, and I would appreciate others doing it too.
it would be kinda cool if hexbear itself could display the channel name alongside the post... but I guess we need to get thumbnails working before higher aspirations like that
huh, i didn't know hexbear didn't do that, we get this:
on grad
so you can hover over the channel image to see what channel it is
Btw, if someone wants to check the channel name to decide whether to open it in a private window, and you don't have embeds blocked in some way, by the time you see the screenshot it's already too late and Google knows you were interested in it.
image isn't loading for me, and I can't seem to upload images right now myself
I think something's broken

I wish Lemmy would just buy a youtube API Key and implement this as a feature, long with video duration.
This would inevitably get blocked due to people spinning up instances all using the same key. Maybe individual admins could do this.
