    Looks good! I’m wondering if you could fit the “Posted 5 days ago” on the same row as username as well in mobile mode. It seems like on desktop it doesn’t show “posted”, for example.

      Thanks!

      The reason for breaking to the next line on mobile was definitely horizontal space constraints. The anonymous usernames can get a bit long, and there also needs to be space next to the username for badges.

      And I’m fairly sure I later added “Posted” for the mobile layout to make use of the extra space that moving to the next line allowed for.
