I can’t found it how can I post embedded videos or posts from social media sites, like on Reddit or other similar sites.

    I don’t want to go (e.g.) YouTube to watch 4 advert before I can see the video. Embed is so muchier comfy and the site is more entertainable with the embedded video or social post, not only just a link.

      it is a balance between security and usability, I assume it leans more towards security

        i wonder if it would work to remove the CSP header with a header extension though

      Get a content blocker (like uBlock Origin); it’s worth it.

      Also, embeds still link the YouTube video, so adverts will still play in them.

      1. Then make a plugin.
      2. Lemmy itself does not need to be “entertainable”; this is just the excuse capitalists make to profit off social addictions. Western social media started out efficient (UseNet and email); but gradually transformed into bloated social media (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) as capitalist traits could fully manifest in better hardware.
      • Voting was added solely because creates addiction cycles.

      Social media should be modular (as in the UNIX philosophy).

          Making sure Lemmy never takes off any%

          Email took off and it didn’t have embeds.

          Tell people they need to install an extension to make Lemmy usable

          It is usable. Not everyone wants to have embedded videos, which is why I suggested making an extension.
