View submission: Announcing Consolidated Pinned Posts on Android
Come to think of it, this feature will break even communities that might *want* to use this feature. Several of mine will soon have a pinned guidelines/instructions post that is frequently edited by our bot, so it will never collapse, meanwhile our *actual* announcements will. So unless we follow suit and bot the announcement post too, the important stuff will be collapsed while the frequently-edited *unimportant* stuff will never be. This is annoying; definitely could use a never/auto/always-collapse toggle for pinned posts, mods can set it depending on the priority and their own community's needs.
Other random idea: Ability to configure the post to collapse *only after the user has read it*, given that's, like, what we want them to do in the first place.

I was going to just write mine using PRAW to host on a raspberry pi, do you have a mod with something that could host a bot? You would also want a bot specific account rather than one of your personal accounts.
