You can see that & other settings on any instance at

You can, but that only tells you the character limit, it doesn't say anything about reliability or safety.

The list I linked to is of servers with longer character limits that also comply with the seven points about reliability and safety at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site

@FediTips if 500 characters isn't enough for you, maybe switch to a blog.

@FediTips Recently mas.to added support for up to 1000 characters, I believe it should be added to the list.

Yup, that's another option! ️ There are Fediverse blogging platforms like Write Freely, WordPress and Ghost, and the Friendica platform is very blog-like too with no limits.
