If you go over that limit, there won’t be any kind of indicator/message saying so.
If you try to submit a post, you will get a forever loading icon, and the post will never be submitted.
So make sure to check your character count.
Sounds like a good thing, I hate walls of text, 10k chars sounds reasonable.
I can see that some communities would want longer posts though, like ones about writing etc.
There should be a limit, of course, but 10k is a bit too little IMO.
I would rather see one bigger wall of text, then multiple smaller walls of text that continue in the comments because it didn’t fit in the post…
For a reference, the other site had 40k for the post and 10k for the comment.
Just showing a forever loading icon doesn’t seem like the most elegant way to handle this.
Does this also apply to comments?
Yes, the same exact thing applies to comments. I just tested it now.
Good to know, thank you 🙏 !
