When I upload a short video to Pixelfed, I don’t get a preview image. The video is mp4 H.264. Is there a solution? I would find Pixelfed super as an Instagram replacement. But without a preview, it’s not that nice. I gave an example as a link. What experiences do you have with pixelfed and videos?

    Could this be due to the post visibility setting of your post, your account, or the server you’re on? Or perhaps a synchronisation delay. I ask because…

    Browsing that link in Firefox on Android shows me a preview?

    When I view your profile with my Pixelfed account (using Moshidon on Android) shows no posts?

      This could be an incompatibility in viewing Pixelfed API data - try a client which specifically lists Pixelfed support, such as Fedilab - their (stickbro) profile shows up fine for me in Fedilab, $0.02.
