@dopelover

Description

@dopelover

📜 Description

It is impossible to write a post longer than 500 characters regardless of the Mastodon instance’s limit. Mastodon allows instance admins to configure different character limits, and this limit can be retrieved via the API: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/instance/#v2 However, Postiz uses a hardcoded 500-character limit.

👟 Reproduction steps

  1. Create a post with more than 500 characters for Mastodon.

👍 Expected behavior

Depending on the Mastodon instance, it should be possible to create posts with varying length.
