Bug: Title truncation in New Post Notifications can have unfortunate consequences
I was browsing my Notifications list in the Android app when I saw this new post (open photo to see notification). The truncation is unfortunate, and there is the (slight) chance that a mischievous poster could attempt to use this effect for mal-purposes.
I didn't remember to check what appeared on the website for the same notification, but I expect it would be a different length of truncation.
Serious question: comment notifications display the title text in full, so there isn't a length limitation. Users would like to see the full title so that they can decide whether to read further or not, so why can we not have the full title displayed for a new post?
(I am aware that 'other text' is also used in new post notifications, such as the group for the post, or if the poster is your neighbour, but surely a solution can be found to show the full post title too? Tap to expand, long-press to open, maybe?)
