               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Attachments)                                
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Location)
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.CreatedBy) //IdentityUser
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Tags)
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Upvotes)
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Upvotes.Select(y => y.CreatedBy))
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Downvotes)
               .IncludeOptimized(x => x.Downvotes.Select(y => y.CreatedBy))
               .AsQueryable();
