What’s the best way to share a YouTube video? I’d like the thumbnail to show. Do I have to do that manually?
@karinnelson when I've done this I've only added a link and as far as I know it's automatically added the same pic that the video clip uses.

@smellsofbikes @karinnelson website links will generally have some metadata to it that inform a title, description and thumbnail. different activitypub frontends will handle these differently. on mastodon's own frontend (i.e. web, not third-party apps) this will properly show a thumbnail and optionally an embed to the video, like twitter does.
in short: just link the video
