Harmonize posts and threads in combined view

[blued-gear]

Posts on the Microblog page:

• move vote buttons to the left
• image in expandable ares

Posts on Combined page:

• similar to threads

Current problems:

• no title -> no link to click to open the post

Could we also please move the images to a thumbnail format as well? Especially when its listed in the overview?

I'm not sure about that. It wouldn't work well with a longer text block beside or below it.
To make it works posts would need to be similarly designed as threads, which has its own problems (like that posts have no title line).
I like that posts are this distinguishable to threads, but that is just my personal opinion.

So as a user with the combined view, my feedback would be this:

Or this:

As a user this annoyed me a lot, since I'm just scrolling through some content and suddenly 80%-100% of my screen is filled by a single post. The Interstellar app does not have this issue.

Also the test is failing.. :)

Both Mastodon and PieFed solves this by making the card clickable. Be aware that when there is a link within the card text, that URL should also still work if you click on that.

And you could argue to make that consistent when threads as well then, meaning both threads and posts will have a clickable content..

But again, just keep in mind that you can still have URLs within the text itself that has priority in terms of "mouse clicking" . So clicking on these links should still work, well just look how Mastodon solves it.
