YouTube videos cannot be embedded. At least not yet.

ah ok, good to know!

the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway

But I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.

These are all nicely embedded on Lemmy. At least on the website.

@user224 @retronet tried both the Mastodon website in firefox and also Mona (MacOS client) and I get… nothing

(trying my own screenshots from Mastodon (Mona) to see how those appear)

welp I'm back on Lemmy and I see my Mastodon screenshots didn't come over? :(

here they are from Lemmy

[-] user224 2 points 2 years ago

So I guess only option is direct links. It is good idea to include those anyway for compatibility.

Fwiw, though the media didn't embed for me, they all did show up as links.

[-] user224 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Are you going through the website or some app?

I tested it with these:
Opera 74 (Android 11): Works
Firefox 104 (Manjaro): Works
Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7): Doesn't format the website correctly, though media was embedded into the mess

[-] aperson@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Viewing with voyager.

[-] user224 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I see nothing over here from your side.

[-] lackthought@mastodon.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

@user224 @retronet I guess media just straight up doesn't federate

oh well its still cool to be able to view, reply, or submit text between systems for now
