I ran into some cover image issues when I started writing on dev.to not until I came across an article about how to add cover picture/image to your article so that prompt me to write this article to help whoever that might need it.
Note: adding a nice cover image to articles is very essential and you can do that on dev.to by adding a cover_image: entry to that block at the top. For example, the block for this post should look like this:
---

published: true

Get a nice picture/images maintaining the ratio of 1000x420 pixels for better resolution.
