@Gargron @robert If, by a hack such as the one in the link below, we increased Tardis World's toot character limit beyond the default 500, would there be any danger of breaking current or future compatibility with the rest of the Mastodon network?

@dave @robert No danger. We support any number of incoming characters. Also the character-related code is so rarely touched you'll unlikely to run into merge conflicts.

I pushed mine up to 2000 as the very first thing I did, and one of the main reasons I set up my own instance.

It writes "See more..." at the bottom of a post over 500 characters, so you have to click it.

I think it should probably be an admin setting rather than a hack, but then it being a hack does encourage new instances. ;)
