Got a question, would you be willing to consider increasing the character limit for messages on this instance?

I seem to tend to write on the larger side of things, and there's been a couple of times I've edited a message to work around/with the current limit.

My pinned profile introduction message comes to mind.

I wish Mastodon had a thing for those cases where you could allow it to automatically split your message into a longer set of replies.

I've had a few longer replies myself (not too many) where having it just split it up for me would save me a few minutes of copy / paste / hunt for the next message to reply and copy paste again lol.

(Even though coming from birdsite, this is a big increase)

@ryonia
Many times I think it can be cool, but I use it too little times to think it's better than multiple chained messages.

@dreamwishes3
Yes, I hope this feature can exist, I'm just too ignorant about Ruby to suggest an implementation.

@C_Chell

Here is a blog going over the changes, maybe it'd be of help?

In the next few days I could look into it myself if you'd like some help, see if it works for 4.1.x for example.

@ryonia I already find it before, but I don't know for sure if increase the message length will be really useful.
Mastodon is made for micro-blogging, not blogging.
I will see with the team before take the decision.

@C_Chell

Ah, gotcha. Please let us know how that goes!

Derped and didnt click the ruby part was to Dream >.<
