As far as I’m aware they block links to pretty much everything even other YouTube videos. I think this was a attempt to stop/slow the horrid amount of spam bots but I’m not 100% on that

Really sad to see it go and really annoyed to see them pushing AI

This seems useful thanks!

I never got into the short form video thing but anything to get more people onto the Fediverse is a good thing
