You can set a max height when using a full layout. To set a max height go to Settings > Post feed > Post appearance > Full content max lines and pick the nimber of lines to limit by.

Have you tried playing with the settings in Posts feed -> Post appearance? I use “compact” view and I don’t need to scroll far at all. You can also set a line limit for “Full” view.

Even more customization options is only a good thing in my book. I’m using Compact at the moment, but I might get a nicer view out of List With Cards if I could tweak the post height and spacer thickness.
