I am using this layout:
Ah that's why post types are not shown. It is considered redundant for that layout type as links are denoted by a translucent link text overlaid on the image and videos are denoted by a large play button.
I am sorry for my lack of knowledge, but which layout mirrors Reddit for Android layout?
It shows full width image for image posts and compact view for link and text posts.
This layout doesn't exist yet. I think this layout isn't particularly hard to support so I can see if I can add it in for the next update.
