I have the same issue. I just put my own thumbnails on when I attach a video and that takes care of the thumbnail issue, but I noticed when using the default video upload thinky, the video only shows locally (on qoto.org) and not on other instances.
If instead I upload to https://video.qoto.org/ to host the video and then point to that in my toots, will that fix it?

peer tube is an entierly different service but it uses the same protocol (activity pub).. so yes it should fix it and people can even follow your peertube account directly as they would your QOTO account and receive new videos direct in their timeline.
@FailForward What do you mean by "in the mastodon interface".. is nt the public timeline part of that interface?
The first problem is when you look at my public timeline:
https://qoto.org/@FailForward
You'll see that some of the toots (more recent ones) with links to youtube do not have a card, but the earlier ones do.
For the second problem, I'll post a screenshot.
Ok I see what you mean. Have you happened to notice if this happens with non-qoto accounts?
@FailForward
I suspect previews get queued and are probably rate limited from YT's end. So likely that is the case.
@FailForward It could be that its just a limitation of QOTO or a bug with the version. If you happen to add this as a ticket on our git I can investigate it at our next upgrade, which hopefully is in the fairly near future.
