You’re welcome. You have probably checked it by mistake. It is a bit confusing as there are about 10 checkboxes in the settings :)

You have checked “bot account” in your account settings.

This depends on the instance of the video being used. Some instances clone a copy of the video, some use proxies, and some send the link directly to the user. I don’t recommend it if you have limited bandwidth.

Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

• lemmy.world
• sh.itjust.works
• beehaw.org
• programming.dev
