Hi! Small feature request - could we have another toggle in the settings that would allow displaying the bar with community name, time posted etc. above the post title? This way we would know the context of a post before we start reading the title.

I understand this might not seem like a big deal and there are other, more important features the dev(s) might be focusing right now but it would be a welcome QoL option. Hope this is not something that requires a lot of effort. Cheers!

Weird, that's exactly how it is for me. But no idea where to change it

Yep, mine's like that too... could be a different card display type that OP chose in the settings maybe?

Edit: seems to be the case. I use "slides", but after changing it to "cards" I get OP's layout

Settings shortcut: Settings > View type

Oh yeah I didn't notice that I had slides

This setting doesn't exist, although as a workaround you could switch your view to Slides. It's slightly different and the community name shows up above the post title.

For reference, here's what that looks like:

Cards is a depreciated, pre-redesign post view. You can use Slides which is updated and does have community name before post title

Cards is a depreciated

If they had an optional community name above the title, they would be appreciated!

Cards is the only view that feels right.

If you change the view type to slides instead of cards, it does this.

Thanks, you're right, but damn, I prefer the cards view... Perhaps if it's already working with slides, it won't be a big effort to add such toggle to cards.
