Most instances don’t mention their character limit, joinmastodon.org don’t mention character limit, mastodonservers.net is outdated (for example, there it says mstdn.social has a 1000 character limit, but you open the link it says 500)… I have to go creating accs in every instance to discover the character limit?
The sad thing about the Fediverse is that I’d get more answers about it on X and Reddit
