Feature Request: collapse long posts (lemmy.world)

Some posts in communities I follow are quite long. I don't mind their presence, but they are not always relevant to me and result in unnecessary scrolling to pass essay-length posts.

An option to automatically collapse posts longer than, say, 10 lines would be a nice bonus feature to have.

Anyone else agree?

Thank you! Not sure how I missed it.

It would be nice if it were more clear that the post is cut off and could be expanded. But this alone is a good convenience.

Np 👍

There's a tap to collapse somewhere in the settings.

There's also a: use volume key to speed to next top level comment. I use both frequently.

I may be missing something but I think that is just for comments.

I'm imagining something that would "cut off" posts in the feed after a certain length. There could be a way to expand either by opening the post or with an "expand post" button in the feed.

I'll try out the options you mentioned. Thanks.

As stated by others there is already a setting for this. Also there is a feature request on the roadmap to limit a post by height. This is to account for things such as inline images.
