Most people decide whether to read a post from the lines above “…see more”. LinkedIn shows three of them, so the opening has to make its point there, or nobody reaches the rest.
Three lines on a desktop hold more words than three lines on a phone, and most of LinkedIn is read on a phone. Write for the shorter one.
LinkedIn shows the first three lines of a post in the feed, then “…see more”. Three lines is a width, not a number of characters: on a phone the lines are shorter, so less of your opening survives. Switch the preview between desktop and mobile to see both.

Yes. Postacio publishes text, photo, document and poll posts to your LinkedIn profile at the time you pick, written once with your other networks. See the LinkedIn scheduler page for how it works.
No. The preview is drawn in your browser and the photo never leaves it. Your words go further only if you choose “Schedule this post”, and then only into your own Postacio draft.
Postacio publishes to X, Telegram, LinkedIn and YouTube from one draft.
