      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.

          I second the question but from the looks of a web UI maybe the subtitle is what appears under the link? screenshot of this post in web UI showing the text "Semantic Line Breaks When writing text with a compatible markup language, add a line break after each substantial unit of thought." under the post

            That bottom text, yeah, and a lot of posts will have the entire content or a thorough summary embedded there, or archive.org/12ft.io versions of the link. On my instance, its collapsed behind a plus sign right after the title, like a comment, but above all the stats and action buttons.

          Gotta tap on the plus sign next to their exclamation point … If your client doesn’t show that, then yes: absolutely, You’re missing out on the full Lemmy experience. Killer feature IMHO.
