Has anybody noticed weird behavior with links to youtube? Specifically, instead of the video description, I just see some German text, which translation says is a boilerplate of what youtube is. From yiffit, no image and german text, from pawb, image and accurate description. . This looks like a recent change, everything older than about 2 days ago looks fine.
This is observed from the default desktop website.
Edit: Based on the comment from @Pronell@lemmy.world I would guess youtube made a recent change and the language is generated based on where the lemmy instance is hosted.
Next day edit (July 21): Whatever was causing has reverted. Videos posted the affected days are still messed up, but new posts look like they’re working like they used to.
Edit: later in the day. Whatever it is is back.

I’ve seen this too!
And in Jerboa that same text appears in Cyrillic.
The plot thickens, I see the same thing (Cyrillic) from world when using desktop
Same, but English. (Canada)
Hmm, that reinforces whatever it is being location based and not language based. I would need to find another host in an English speaking country for more info. Feddit.uk has text in German.
