Links to YouTube posts get turned into broken video URLs (nord.pub)

On lemmy.world, this is a link to a post and works. Piefed tries to make it a video link which does not.

(unrelated, but to try to find this community, I clicked the magnifying-glass-looking thing to search and it just yelled at me that I couldn't search for a community in the wrong format. If I don't know where a community lives or its exact name, how is that even useful?)

TIL that YouTube apparently now offers “posts” without any videos in them?

Yep. I'm not sure when it started.

You may want to provide additional details such as your method of access

Firefox on a PC. Top-right-ish, click on the magnifying glass search thingy. Click on the textbox under 'community'. Type meta. Get error please match the requested format.

Gotcha, yeah that looks to be something with how your instance has not set up communities properly yet. Bc if instead of searching there you click All communities and search there, it works. Hopefully as Rimu mentioned the newest upcoming update may fix all that!:-)
