I'm gona throw out a guess and say it might be done by character count and not number of lines, possibly due to variarions in screen width.
That is, of course, merely an assumption -
donuts238556y@Aporue-Sutol well this would be abused.... I could write a program to convert all posts to put a line after each word or character..... lol...
But I guess that would really piss ppl off.... -
@billgates that could prove rather amusing, though I'll agree that some folks might not enjoy it as much as we would.

dfox428426yThis hasn’t changed recently (it’s always pretty much just been character count) but we’re looking into some improvements that have been suggested on the GitHub issue tracker.

The app has updated? I don't see any uodates in the store... The last one is in January
Hey just noticed the app updated... Looks like a pretty big change but pretty nice. one thing though was wondering. How does it decide the length to show?
I see some posts are really long but others are shorter and get the Read More cutoff
