I just learned that there are Mastodon servers / instances that have a higher post character limit and this is something you can configure as a host admin. This explains why I see longer form posts now and then. I would love to be able to do this!

Does anyone know how I can find out which servers allow longer form posts? @amapanda would you consider increasing the post limit for en.osm.town?

@mvexel I'm not sure if we can configure it via the web site. Since we use masto.host, we don't have cli access

@amapanda I think it does require editing configuration files. @mastohost is post length limit configurable in your hosted instances?

@mvexel @amapanda Mastodon doesn't provide any setting to change the number of characters. It is possible to do it but it requires changing the actual Mastodon code and that is not possible on my platform. Everyone I host shares the same code and running the native code is the only way I can automate upgrades and maintenance. Sorry. If Mastodon does offer a setting to change the number of characters in the future, just ping me and will gladly change it for you.
