"See more..." is a good idea, especially on long posts or long pages. But... no one want to click "see more" just to read one or two more words in a post.
Could one of the clever UNA programmers change this so that if there are only a few more words in a post - they will be displayed without an extra click or tap.
Yes, I know the line has to be drawn somewhere. It's just a suggestion.

Well, it’s a tricky one. We can go by number of symbols and truncate the rest or clamp a number of lines. With number of symbols it’s consistent amount of content across viewports while with line clamping you may be getting less on mobile for example.
What you’re suggesting is choosing a range of number of characters, say 100-120 and truncate to 100 if the total is 120+, and not truncate at all if it’s under 100. We can experiment with that and see if it adds much overhead to feed rendering.
The comment above makes sense of course when we rely on symbols only. With HTML-comments we have to go by height still. In any case, we made some adjustments to match the height to lines better and to bring back gradient fade for covered text.
