Limit posts with large amounts of text to a set window size, with a "show more" option to read the entire post

It's very often that some of the Shopping Event accounts will post large amounts of text with multiple line breaks between each sentence in their ads, in order to promote the items being sold at their events.
I'm happy to see the photo content in my Feed (otherwise I wouldn't follow them in the first place), but the text windows for posts used to be smaller with an option to "Show More" if you were interested in reading more about that specific post, whereas that doesn't appear to be an option any longer. Instead, I'm now having to scroll through the entirety of every post that's made, and as Shopping Events will often post multiple items every day with the same text throughout, it's time-consuming and cumbersome to have to keep scrolling through the same things over and over.
I know some folks will likely just say "just don't follow them", but it kinda defeats the purpose of being able to advertise on Primfeed in the first place - it's not that I don't want to see the content that's posted, I just don't want to scroll through huge text windows of repeated information in order to see the image of the item they're promoting. So tl;dr, it would be very much appreciated if the "Show more" option could be re-added back in for these posts that have large volumes of text.

Done! :)

I'm working on something to bring back the Show more button yes! It was complicated to implement with the new editor (to cut the sentence in the middle with an ellipsis) so I'm working on something alternative.
Can you let me know what you think? https://www.primfeed.com/luke.rowley/posts/eecd56a6-1b4e-4510-b989-19adbd541630
