Personally, if I'm here I'm in the mood to read and almost never to watch a video. What about you?

I womder if this is a limitation on the lemmy side. Piefed and mbin(?) And other fediverse services have more info when viewimg videos and pulls in metadata at time of run. Youtube/peertube/raw videos. Users may be assuming the same info is making its way into the community.

Is there a good example somewhere of a blind link i can look at? We can make a comparison and/or comfirm the issue.

    Here is an example of what I’m talking about:

    How I see it in my client(Voyager):

    • In my feed

    • In the post itself

    Interesting. So in the original feed it attempted to pull inthe metadata:

    image looks like it was not successful. Maybe a different language?

    On piefed it was also not successful:

    image So the metadata didnt show up.

    https://kbin.earth showed the reposts:

    image

    Its all over the place. I can see this being frustrating!

    One final note: mastodon/gotosocial complains about lack of metadata: image

    Which is what I would expect.

    So to summarize. Yes its all over the place with descriptions and video data all over the fediverse. It would be nicer if people put something in the description. And if fedi clients can maybe auto-push the description on the video to the post like it occurs on peertube/piefed that would be nice as well.
