DavidI'm pleased to report that I have increased the limit when composing a post here on https://genealysis.social from 500 to 3000 characters.
500 is sometimes just not enough.
The limit causes no problems with other mastodon servers or any other fediverse servers. The protocols behind the scenes can handle large limits. It is just Mastodon that chooses to restrict writing posts to 500 -- no idea why!
The change is now live, but it may take a little while to show on your web front end or phone apps, due to caching.
#genealogy often needs more words 🙂
