In case you missed it, you can edit your posts on Mastodon:
1. Go to the post you want to edit
2. Click ⋯ on the post
3. Select "Edit"
This works on the website interface, the third party apps and the official apps.
To avoid abuse of the edit feature, everyone who has interacted with the post will receive a notification to say it is edited, and a link will appear below the post which shows all previous versions.
You can also use editing to add text descriptions if you forget to do them.

Is there anyway to defeat the character limit? Many things are complex enough that they can't fit in 500 characters.

You could move to a server with a higher character limit?
For example my personal account is on https://tech.lgbt and the limit there is 1000 characters.

How is 'interacted' defined in this context?

Yup: replies, boosts, favourites.

@feditips I don’t get an “edit” option.

It's being considered, but it is controversial as many feel it is often used for toxic bullying.
One possible compromise is to have an opt-in quote feature, where people choose to allow their posts to be quoted.
However, nothing has been releasd yet.

@feditips what of requote feature? It is missing.

Friendica can too. However, it renders a bit weirdly in Mastodon.

Is there such a thing as using edit to much? Asking for a friend 😂

Every time you edit, all the people who interacted with the post will get a notification. So, bear that in mind!

I'm not sure what you mean isn't always true?

@feditips @MarkLAnderson Well, that's not always true, depends a lot on your settings, and the kind of rendering you want to show in the TL, content or excerpt (via custom template in post-content).

@feditips @MarkLAnderson As explained, depending on the configuration of the ActivityPub plugin (mainly, the custom post-template), the content that will be visible from a post on Mastodon can be the full text (without linked URLs, embeds...) or an excerpt only.

Yeah, indeed. I was trying to say that in the original post but I wasn't very clear.
