Hi @Gargron

As a happy user of #MastodonSocial since 2022, Iā€™m contributing to #Mastodonā€™s #Patreon to support the project and instance

Thanks for keeping the server very stable & up to date!

It could be a perfect love story if almost every day, I find myself writing posts longer than the #500characterlimit

As a result, I need to spend a lot of time rewriting my posts without losing their meaning

Please consider expanding this limit.

Thank you!

Boots will be welcome!

500 characters post!

@lucas3d @Gargron You're barking to the wrong tree my man. The #500characterlimit is per instance, not a limitation of Mastodon nor the ActivityPub protocol. So if you need to make post > 500 character, then you'll need to find an instance that supports it, or ... put your own instance šŸ˜¬

@llanero24 I know the character limit is per instance. @Gargron is managing #mastodonSocial, Iā€™m doing some lobbying :-)

I prefer not to leave #mastodonSocial because I have 3 years of history, interactions, and photos of my cycling adventure.

@lucas3d @Gargron So allow me the audacity of suggesting that your request isn't the proper one. Your request (which I would join) should be: The ability of Mastodon to export/import your post history, so when one moves instances, it follows you wherever you chose on the Fefiverse šŸ™ƒ

@llanero24 šŸ’Æ agree!

This will be perfect for the long-term solution. Limiting the maximum character count to 1,000 will be a game changer. :-)

Thanks @Gargron :-)
