inconsistencies in display of peertube videos between lemmy and piefed

a Peertube video in Piefed

Lemmy didn't load the user avatar for some reason, though thats probably a Lemmy federation issue if anything not Photons issue. But the display of the OG preview is vary different, and I would think that should be the same regardless of underlying server support.

The former display will be shown if the API gives Photon an embed_title and a thumbnail url. Piefed doesn't seem to generate embed_title, so it will always look like that. I could fix this specific issue by adding support for peertube embeds, which I will do soon.

ah cool you are working to add peertube embeds! I was gonna open an issue for that so glad to hear your already on it!
