If not a little "hack" you can do is upload the photo to the body of your post than copy that to the thumbnail url box. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] luciole@beehaw.org [S] 4 points 7 months ago Ah thanks that works! permalink fedilink source parent [–] coalie@piefed.zip 4 points 7 months ago (1 child) You can get the image URL from your profile, there is a tab for media or photos. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] luciole@beehaw.org [S] 3 points 7 months ago I wasn't aware of that tab, that's real useful.
