I have the same issue. I just put my own thumbnails on when I attach a video and that takes care of the thumbnail issue, but I noticed when using the default video upload thinky, the video only shows locally (on qoto.org) and not on other instances.
If instead I upload to video.qoto.org/ to host the video and then point to that in my toots, will that fix it?

@Pat

peer tube is an entierly different service but it uses the same protocol (activity pub).. so yes it should fix it and people can even follow your peertube account directly as they would your QOTO account and receive new videos direct in their timeline.

@FailForward What do you mean by "in the mastodon interface".. is nt the public timeline part of that interface?

@freemo @FailForward
I just tried to log in at video.qoto.org using the same credentials as this platform, but no-go. Is it on another server, do I need to set up a separate account?

@Pat

You need to register seperately but your username here gets priority, so if someone took or takes your username here and you want it we will delete that user for you.

@FailForward

@freemo Done. Now...
"If you feel you meet the requirements of this instance then contact @freemo from your mastodon account and request to be removed from the auto-blacklist group..."

I think I do, so I am...please. Thanks.

Follow

@Pat is your account name there Pat? I will add you

@Pat You now have a 20 gig quota and bypass the auto-blacklist.. should you max out the quota just let me know and as long as yoru videos aren't against our ToS I'll be happy to increase it as needed.
