    Right, twitter/mastodon type links should be handled completely differently from video links. Those should definitely have the text.

    Is there any reason not to have the embed? Are you worried about the space it takes or something?

      I show the plus button when there is an iframe / embed html. I’m just reticent to have the links do an iframe expansion, rather than an expando + button like I have now.

      I don’t wanna write exceptions for different providers, wayyy too much work.

      I deployed a new one w/o images to https://test.lemmy.ml/ , check out some of those examples and tell me what you think.

      edit: its deployed here now v0.6.22

        Hmm I understand not making it too complicated, but I still dont like the current behaviour that much. Way too hard to find the embed button, it should probably be the biggest one. Check out how Mastodon does it, the entire preview is replaced by the embed, the preview doesnt even have a clickable link.

        Edit: Okay I’m wrong, Mastodon has two seperate buttons on the preview, one for play (embed), and one to open the link. Plus some additional text. Anyway it looks much nicer, and its obvious what each option will do.
