or, even better, get Lemmy to integrate this functionality and let users opt-in.
if I recall correctly, I have seen some Lemmy instance that made Youtube videos embed through the usage of farside.link
actually, each Lemmy instance could double as a Farside instance, so that whole network doesn’t pressure (and rely on) developer’s instance

having something like this would be very awesome
well, first thing would be to open a feature request in Lemmy’s issue tracker and start the debate about what is the best way to implement this
