Do you wonder how some people's posts are longer than 500 characters?

It's because they are on servers that have higher character limits for posts (or in some cases no limits at all). More info at:

️ https://fedi.tips/why-do-some-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-have-bigger-character-limits

You can find some human-curated well-run servers with higher character limits listed here:

@FediTips the very very long posts make me dizzy scrolling

Question...

Is it rude to switch servers? I wouldn't want to offend the fella who has done a ton of work to keep mine going....

@magsamond

On most interfaces and apps very long posts are automatically shortened with a "read more" link to expand them. If your current app doesn't do this you might want to try a different app or the web interface?

It's 100% fine to switch if you want to

If you are grateful to your current admin, you might want to send them a donation and a note of thanks, regardless of whether you're leaving or not leaving

@FediTips

Thanks for the encouragement....

If I had the bucks rn, I'd donate on my way to somewhere else.... But it's a little tight these days

Cheers eh

Of course! Only people who can afford it should donate.
