That is a video post. To make a thumbnail would require piefed.nl to read the video and copy one of the frames from the video. This would make the server work hard and we don't want that.
Couldn't l do that reading part myself and then upload it as a thumbnail ?? I do it for YouTube and spectra !!
Yes, if someone added that functionality to PieFed.
Many parts of PieFed are still incomplete. You are finding many gaps :)
A thumbnail is supposed to be an image of certain specifications with a ▶️ button, so that the video plays when it's clicked, right ???🤔🤔
