You did get a YouTube link to show a thumbnail again... Could you maybe post a screenshot of the layout of your post? I'm so curious as to why you're the only one to get that working on this sub! :D

Here you go:

That's how the "Create Post" UI looks for me using the normal web lemmy-ui. In the field Thumbnail URL I pasted the direct image link of the cover art on the RYM page of the album. (You can of course also use some other source for the image link, like uploading the cover art to an image host of your choice.)

Ah, right!
I post everything on mobile, and there's no Thumbnail URL-field in there. That explains it, most likely. Thanks for clearing that up! :)

Coming back to you because I found additional information that might interest you:

The issue that the metadata fetching fails on YouTube was fixed after the release of v0.19.8 (latest), so we have to wait for the next release of lemmy.

Thanks for that, hopefully it'll be fixed soon!
