Glad to know that!
For a little while I found that using CWs was really neat into wrapping long posts, and keeing then short and neat in the Federated feeds.
BUT - there's always a but, soon enough also I realized how people were not seeing these posts as much -- the IMAGE was hidden, as part of the CW logic.
Uhm -- maybe we could have a new idea; Collapse the Text, always using a one line "Topic Title" as the New_CW description. BUT keeping the image in display.
A well chosen image can not only add visual value and attraction to the post, but catch a passing by reader, and convince them to expose that folded text content.
Remind that most all people who will see out posts are NOT in our local instances. Thye will not see them in a placidly moving timeline, oh, here's another post by Joey.
Nope, they look at them in the Home feeds (our Followers) or even Worse, in the Niagara_Falls of content that is the Federated Timeline.
In that crowded place, hooking a Reader is no easy feat.
Local timelines are much easier to absorb, but there way more readers out there. Hooking them, we need.
