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instances don’t mention their character limit, joinmastodon.org don’t mention character limit, mastodonservers.net is outdated (for example, there it says mstdn.social has a 1000 character limit, but you open the link it says 500)… I have to go creating accs in every instance to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?

Verbosity is verboten.
I had a page I recommended some niche movies, comics, etc, I wanted to move it to Mastodon, but just mentioning the name, year, creator/director/writer/co-creator/etc, what it’s based on, a short summary and commentary where I try to be very succinct, it’s already over 500 characters… it’s worse if I try to quote something from it… the future is for those that can only read headlines.
The sad thing about the Fediverse is that I’d get more answers about it on X and Reddit
