I'm always have this URL format bookmarked for when I'm posting YT links on Lemmy:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KtQ9nt2ZeGM/maxresdefault.jpg
Just swap out the ID with the one you're using.
Having said that, I'm really fucking annoyed that Lemmy hasn't fixed this issue yet. Meanwhile, Reddit supports 500 thousand different kinds of thumbnail formats, and Lemmy can't be bothered to support one of the most popular video platform.
