I was trying to transfer a post of mine from Medium and bumped into the size limit.

It looks like there's no character number limit per se, but there's a form size limit, declared here:

let form_size = var("FORM_SIZE")
    .unwrap_or_else(|_| "32".to_owned())
    .parse::<u64>()
    .unwrap();
// ...
c.set_limits(
    Limits::new()
        .limit("forms", form_size * 1024)
        .limit("json", activity_size * 1024),
);

A form size of 32 KB essentially limits posts to ≈ 28k characters (because of url-encoding and other fields). This is a step up from Mastodon's 500 char limit, but still not enough for some of the longer blog posts. This post, for example, is ≈ 55k characters long.

Of course the limit is configurable, but I propose bumping the default, too.
