Missing YouTube video thumbnails [fixed] (self.meta)

Does anybody know why and when thumbnails for YouTube videos are shown or not? It appears to depend on the lemmy instance the posts are served from:

Without Thumbnails

With Thumbnails

Update: It's not only YT thumbnails which aren't shown. This is your post about the free 24 slot bag as shown on lemmy.wtf (without thumbnail), lemmy.world (without thumbnail) and feddit.de (with thumbnail):

I have no idea why it is happening. The only thing I can think of is Cloudflare tunnel, but why would that keep the thumbnails from loading? I send a message to the admin of Lemmy.world.

edit: I am also trying to troubleshoot why users from kbin.social can't subscribe to here and vice versa.

I was able to subscribe from lemmy.world to kbin.social (yesterday or the day before). I tried it on another account from feddit.de today and it did not work. My guess is a problem at kbin.social.

This works:

This doesn't work:

The difference between the two communities at lemmy.world, is that c/selfhosted has been around for a long time and c/xcode was created just a few days ago. It seems that only communities that initially connected with kbin.social work, but not new communities.

I see you have been discussing this with the people & mod of the GW2 magazine on kbin.social already. To me it really seems to be an issue on their side. As I mentioned above: I currently cannot subscribe from feddit.de to their GW2 magazine, either.

Update: I was now able to subscribe to their GW2 magazine from feddit.de, but it does not display any posts.
