@sb Is 23 the common practice in the #fedi ? Can you link to the documentation you mentioned? I didn't pay attention to it until you mentioned it. As far as I know, each software—Misskey and forks, Friendica, Lemmy, Mbin, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Bookwyrm, Mastodon®, etc.—follows their own. Did the #Fediverse standardized it recently?

Boy oh boy... Its 2025 but I sure am seeing a lot of #URLShortener links here.
A lot of people refuse to click shortened links.
Why?
Because most link shortening services are commercial. They are not free. You pay in data.
They can also be misused, captured and redirected.
The good news is, you don't need them on the #fedi! Put any URL of any length in your post and it will count as 23* characters - no shortener required!
*edited from 25 to 23 as per documentation.
