Are there any instance lists that include the maximum post character count for each instance. It was very important to me last time I migrated and I suspect it might be for a good many others.
The only reason I don't use mastodon.ie (which blocks threads) as main account is the standard 500 character limit. Pity. I do bung them a few Euro from time to time as c.im doesn't need donations.

Not directly, as far as I know.
However, you could try to look for an instance that is on Glitch or Hometown, as they allow admins to easily adjust their limits. (Vanilla Mastodon doesn't.)
There are also non-Mastodon Fedi platforms to consider, which tends to have higher character limits too (or no limits at all in some cases).
