@undefined @Alan Yes! And while there are directories of instances that list things like number of users and whether they are open for new registrations, I wish they'd list character limits, since that's such a core feature.
Right now I'm on #qoto in part specifically because of its effective lack of a character limit.
Other, non- #Mastodon platforms running on #fediverse may not have character limits but would still interooperate. Some of the other platforms are more focused on writing.
