Upgraded my instance from 0.19.3 to 0.19.9 today, and fetching metadata for Youtube videos no longer works. Worked perfectly on 0.19.3 as of 3 hours ago (pre-upgrade).

This is how it’s supposed to look:

Good job, lemmy devs! 👍

    The instance I use (SDF) has stopped fetching Youtube video titles and thumbnails weeks ago. I just add them manually now.
    The SDF instance runs 0.19.8.

      This is why I don’t “upgrade” my software unless there’s like a 9.9 CVE to worry about. Always some dumbass regression to spoil the whole thing (and not enough benefits to outweigh that).

      Ugh.

        Same here. But I avoid saying it too often because I always get jumped by a bunch of forced-upgrade lemmings who insult me and tell me I’m a dumbass because I expose myself to immediate and terrible danger from evil hackers in the next 30 seconds. Which of course isn’t true, but most people have been so drilled into blindly updating anything anytime an update is available without even checking what they’re installing that they’ll aggressively confront you if you don’t.

          Like the update to the Moto Z3 which broke compatibility with all external cameras (those bolt-on thermal ones, USB borescopes, even the official Hasselblad Moto Mod for that series) and was never fixed because that also happened to be the last update ever issued for that model and Lenovo dropped support for it immediately thereafter.

          Thanks a lot, guys!

        I suppose that more automated testing could help catch some of these before releases.
