Hybrid postbit

Hybrid postbit

Function

Both the legacy and the classic postbit have their advantages. So why not combine them. The legacy itself sometimes seems to big with smaller posts.

This is how the hybrid postbit might look like.

Not a good idea to have username in the middle of the post. I'd suggest you place the avatar or other extra info there instead. Because a user usually looks into top left corner first, the most important info (the username) must be there
