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?

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.
