Hive mind: I do love Mastodon but I notice that my posts are limited to some 500 characters, which is very short and prevents from sharing about my academic work and field. Yet I see people posting fair long stuff that requires me to scroll down. Definitely far more than 500 characters. How do they do that ? Is there something that escaped me ? #eugenrochko ?
@NBHHS This is because of the limits set by your server - on your server (Mastodon.social) there's a 500 limit, but on some others there's not.
Fedi.tips has info on servers here:

And, if you wanted to move server, there's info on how to do that here:

@RuthSalter thanks a million, Ruth. This server has very good moderation rules, I'll explore if others are like that too and then decide.
