 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. 3 comments
To clarify, I'm not currently looking for a new instance. But quite a few instances running Mastodon have manually reconfigured the maximum. This one, for example, is 5000.  Oh yeah, it can be adjusted, it's just more difficult on vanilla Masto. In some cases it's impossible because the hosting service doesn't allow access to the individual files of the instance's software. That's why Glitch etc tend to be better because they have the tools within the admin's GUI. |

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).
