I think it would be useful to make the video thumbnails stand out much more, so it's immediately obvious which ones contain a video and which don't. If making the stickers themselves larger would be technically difficult, perhaps adding some kind of visual marker around or near the thumbnails would be an easier solution.

When I'm quickly scanning through search results or the POSTS page on a tablet, I often fail to notice the video stickers which means I might overlook something I would otherwise be interested in seeing.

All videos are automatically tagged with video, would adding that tag to your search query work for you?

Not quite. I usually check the POSTS page to keep up with newly uploaded content. Adding the video tag to my searches isn't really a solution, since that would also leave out images.

What would help is making the video marker stand out more, or just increasing the size of the sticker. When I'm rapidly scanning a page filled with thumbnails, it's easy to overlook a small video indicator, which is exactly what happened today. I almost missed a good video:

This is even more likely when the thumbnail itself doesn't immediately look different from an image thumbnail which is close to it.

You can search again with -video to find everything else that isn't a video.

Otherwise there's a custom CSS option in the advanced tab of your user settings, you could probably put something in there to increase the size of the post labels. I've never used it myself, but it's probably something an LLM can easily figure out for you.
