Comment (by crazytonyli):

 > The up link contains the parent post, so setting ?_embed (or
 ?_embed[]=up) will bring the post's details in too

 That's a nice solution. I was not aware of the `_embed` query. However, in
 practice, using that query would dramatically increase the response body
 size: 2x for short posts, and it could be worse for relatively long posts.
 That probably won't be the first solution that I'd choose for the mobile
 app.
