As mentioned. Can we have a setting added to display the full post without pressing the show full post button?

Have you tried this suggestion from the plugin documentation:
If the
embed truncatesite setting is enabled on your site (it is enabled by default), feed topics will only display an excerpt of the feed post. Users can view the full post by clicking the “Show Full Post” button that is displayed below the excerpt. Discourse will then scrape the topic’s embed URL to get the full post content. If the full post content is not being correctly retrieved, you can fix the issue by configuring theembed whitelist selectorsite setting. See Configure the Allowed Embed Selectors Setting for details about that setting.
Though I will note the whitelist setting is now called allowed embed selectors. I’ve also had difficulty getting images from Substack to embed properly when using Discourse as an RSS reader. At least now I get a broken image that I can click through to, which is better than nothing.

One question though. Will that make any posted url link expand fully?
Ie if we shared this topic or say a general link to a news site?
I would be looking to only have this function on the RSS feeds that are pulled vs all url links.
But cool did miss that in the documentation.
In my use case I am RSS pulling from another site I am an admin(for a client) to feed 1 category automatically to feed my site. Both are discourse. But may also find it handy for other news sites I have feeds from.
If you mean a onebox, like this:
Than no. But it does expand the original post if you use Discourse as a comment system for another site. Essentially they use the same mechanisms under the hood.

Okay yes that answers my concern. Will try out the settings you mention. As the content pulled from the other discourse forum depending on the post has caveats.
Thank you for your advice & expertise. Really appreciated!
