Manually add thumbnail image links to link posts
I'm really loving PieFed but there's one nagging thing that's making it tough to fully switch over from Lemmy. I post a lot of news articles. The autofill works great but there are many news sites that fail every time -- CBC, Tyee, The Atlantic, NYT, WaPo are a few examples (probably cloudflare issues). You can copy-paste the headline and subheading but no-go for the image. Lemmy solved this by having a separate field to either upload or link to a image. As it stands, probably ~40% of the articles I'd post just look bad in the feed without a possible fix. It'd be great to have a similar feature to resolve it.
This is much more minor but It would also be lovely to have a "failed to fetch" notification when the autofill fails. Or some indication that the tool is working but the website is being a bit of a dick.
Thanks!
