Descriptions of YouTube links posted to lemmy.ml are in French. This seems to depend on the instance rather than the user viewing the post.
I'm guessing, the instance server fetches this description once and YouTube responds with a language based on the server IP address.
...and I just checked, yep, according to one of the IP geolocation services, lemmy.ml is hosted in France, midwest.social is hosted in Germany.
I was going to guess VPN, but hosting makes sense too.
Thanks!
