A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wow try being nicer I assure you it doesn’t hurt :)
I think your mistake was assuming users woudd read the subtitle you had put in a space Lemmy users are used to seeing dedicated to much more detailed summaries of, or even the entire, content. Even if subtitles are closer to the intended use of that space and you did provide plenty of context with the subtitle.
Try expecting less of people. I assure you it will save you a world of pain and a lot of yelling at clouds.
At the top level, I can't even see the subtitle -- just the headline, a cropped and highly pixelated thumbnail, and the domain of the linked article. I had to click to get the subtitle, and I wouldn't have done even that if the headline were more explicit.
Such a weird thing for a Lemmy client(or instance?) to neglect to impliment:
Thanks for pointing that out -- I didn't notice that [+] before (I use the web interface, btw). My original point remains though -- I still have to click something to know what we're talking about.
You don't even have to leave the feed view or wait for anything to load though. The fact there isn't an option to auto-expand such text(or is there? idk) is not OP's problem. They used the functions available to them as intended.
All except "effective communication skills", and I still had to take some action besides scrolling.
chill out
