Does Mona detect the character limit that a server supports, or does it have a hard limit in the app. I just upped mine on techopolis.social to 2000, but the app still limits me to 500.
@mikedoise Mine shows 2000, but I've never been on an instance where you could individually adjust your character limit. Also I don't know when and where it gets that information. Have you restarted the app and does anything else correctly detect the new limit?
@simon I solved it by logging out and back in. I manually changed my character limit in the source files of my instance. I need to come up with a quick way to update these files whenever Mastodon puts out a new release.
@mikedoise Kind of disappointing that the official Mastodon server doesn't let you modify that in an external file. I've never set one up, but I assume there is a config somewhere and surely adding a CharacterLimit key wouldn't be that hard. Hometown FTW, I guess. Except then you have to wait for updates to be merged.
@mikedoise Yeah, Hometown is often behind on major releases. Not sure whether that's lack of time or if merging is a hellish process. Mastodon development comes across as very inflexible in a number of instances.
