   @ev @Green_Footballs I think it's less a matter of the server, than the client. I often see posts in my feed that are many thousands of characters.

     @peterme @ev @Green_Footballs The server decides the char limit of posts, the client decides how to display posts. Some clients shows a "see more" break by default, others have an option to show that, others again just shows the whole posts no matter the length.

     @ev Mastodon admins can change the maximum length of posts; I have a testing server set to allow 5000 characters.

     @Green_Footballs Figured as much. What happens when they get federated to a server with a lower limit?

     This is smart: https://twitter.com/twitterblue/status/1623411400545632256

     Can we have this on Mastodon?
