Does chirpy support <!--more--> to separate contents for homepage and detailed page?

Description

In the early version of chirpy, I can use <!--more--> to separate contents and automatically generate an abstract for homepage. Contents before it will show on the homepage after the post title just like an abstract, contents after that will show only in the detailed post. However, after updating the theme to the latest version, this function seems to be unsupported.

I have not used the previous versions, but the latest version does not separate content from excerpt on the home page. It would be nice to have this because first Heading of the post is visible in front page and does not look nice to be in description of post.

I hope this function could be supported in the future release.

Support of excerpt_separator will be very appreciated.

I've managed to solve the problem by modifying the original code. However I forgot how to do it... See my blog here if it is helpful.

In addition, Jekyll supports excerpt_separator (according to here), however chirpy doesn't support it.

recently I updated my blog through chirpy starter and lost the excerpt_separator ability. I think I should modify _layouts/home.html after each update.

  <div class="card-text post-content mt-0 mb-2">
    <p>
      <!-- {% include no-linenos.html content=post.content %} -->
      {% include no-linenos.html content=post.excerpt %}
      {{ content | markdownify | strip_html | truncate: 200 | escape }}
    </p>
  </div>

may work.
