Description
I get thumbnails for links. It would be great to get the thumbnails for text posts.
Thumbnails seem to come from the first image or link with image in the post as far as I can tell - perhaps Reddit generates them on post submission as I see other readers like Slide show images for text posts.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by tracing how Reddit link thumbnails are obtained and rendered, then compare that path with text posts containing an image or image-bearing link. Done means text posts can show the relevant thumbnail consistently, with coverage for the supported post cases.
