I tried to create a rather long post twice and the create button just keeps loading without posting it.

If there is no such limit, what else could be wrong?

I never had an issue creating a post before.

Thank you in advance.

Apparently there is a limit. I first came across this when i read through a lenghty piece about their philosophy by an admin of beehaw.org. They had to split it. I just checked, and that has 6304 characters. So, i guess the limit is somewhere around 6500, but it could be up to the instance’s configuration, too.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer :) I will keep that in mind and I will try to make my post shorter then.

Alternative for now is to split it in two, and insert a link from part 1 to part 2. Part 2 could also be a comment. Not pretty but smoheow wroks. :-)

Thank you for your answer :) Hehe, not pretty indeed but I will go with either that or shorter posts. Maybe they will raise the character limit in the long run.
