You can hover over the title to have a preview showing the first lines of the article. It’s usually sufficient to dissipate ambiguity, and even ignoring uninformative titles, I use it often to get a feel of an article when I’m not sure whether it’s worth reading.
Sorry! My post (question) title could have been clearer! (Oh the irony!)
This problem is particular to me scanning post titles in another app, a feed reader. I can actually see some of the first bit of the post body too (at least sometimes, e.g. when I’m using the desktop web version of the app). I don’t usually ‘browse’ LessWrong itself; just scan new posts by title usually.
I just wish the titles themselves ‘stood out’ better as it’s much easier to scan them, especially interspersed with items from many other feeds.
Thanks for the feedback tho! I’m definitely thinking this is more of a minor issue mostly specific to myself and how I’m following new posts here.

I also use Feedly and have the exact same issue.
