    Instead of https://www.youtube.com/shorts/<xxx>, do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v<xxx>
    There is an equals sign (=) between v and <xxx>, but for some reason lemmy keeps removing it

      You can also use https://www.youtube.com/v/<xxx>. It’s the old video link structure, but it still works just fine. It’s easier to change it too, since a lot of devices can select text by the word.

      I usually change it to https://youtu.be/<xxx> which works just the same, but is shorter and easier to edit
