lemy.lol is the instance of the user, this community is hosted on lemmy.world. And I would say in this context, the original location is the location of the community. or are videos hosted on the users instance for some reason?

I have no idea.

Interestingly, opening this thread on lemmy.world also does not work.

Same results with Chrome and Opera.

That's odd. Still working fine for me (lemmy.world, Firefox on Linux)

Yeah media says on the original instance it got posted on, it's just the URL that gets passed around instances.
