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?
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.
