    when it’s a youtube link, it often helps scrollers to know the channel name or creator:

    Nukes are way scarier than you think | Channel Name

    or something like that, otherwise it means opening in a private window to check

        it would be kinda cool if hexbear itself could display the channel name alongside the post… but I guess we need to get thumbnails working before higher aspirations like that

          huh, i didn’t know hexbear didn’t do that, we get this:

          on grad
          so you can hover over the channel image to see what channel it is

            Btw, if someone wants to check the channel name to decide whether to open it in a private window, and you don’t have embeds blocked in some way, by the time you see the screenshot it’s already too late and Google knows you were interested in it.

            image isn’t loading for me, and I can’t seem to upload images right now myself

            I think something’s broken
