What determines post thumbnails? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes I will post a link and no thumbnail seems to be pulled from the link. Is this a case by case basis or do I need to do something else?

I’ve used instagram links and kickstarter like this one.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soulscircuit/pilet-opensource-modular-portable-mini-computer

And someone gave this for me to use on a lemm.ee instance, but it wouldn’t load on a lemmy.world instance. https://files.catbox.moe/qtxxrk.mp4 when I tried using the same website elsewhere

I just want to get into doing more posts, but I am confused on how to get consistent visual images to load on timelines from articles, general website thumbnails, gifs and videos.
