Yeah, I agree with this. I actually think we have an admin-only version of a button that does this, but we ran into some bugs and haven’t gotten around to fixing them. I do expect we will do this at some point in the next few months.
No, sorry, though that might be a good idea. I meant an option to easily move a shortform post you have written to a top level post, because I’ve seen many cases where people write amazing shortform posts which might get a lot more visibility if they were forwarded to top level, perhaps after getting some feedback and comments from people who are more engaged with the forum to even look at the shortform.
That should transfer all comments and Karma with it, and simply have the option of adding a title.
I guess this should apply to all comments, not just in the shortform.

So like, when I’m logged into my account, I’ll see every shortform post as top level?

I like this idea a lot. It probably lowers the effort bar for a top-level post, which I think is good.
I agree this is a good idea. Not sure about regular comments, but it would be great if shortform posts had a “Promote to full post” button.
