Pitch

When a text is collapsed due to its length, show the number of characters in the "Show More" button. (Or somewhere feasible I haven't thought about 😉).

Motivation

The nature of the Fediverse and different character restrictions make it hard to predict how long the collapsed post is going to be. "Show More" sometimes just reveals two more small paragraphs, other times, it's a whole blog post.

It would be nice to have an indicator for what you're into, befor clicking the button, realising that it's way too much and then scrolling down a while to collapse the post again. 😄

Hm, I find it odd for any length of additional text: This action is not easily or obviously "redoable" (i. e. scroll down and close again).

How about this idea: "Show more" always directly leads to the thread view?
