@freemo, just got a reply from Nolan, Pinafore's developer, about the issue of client max toot size limit. He responded:

"- The char limit is really on the instance to support; it's as simple as returning max_toot_chars in the HTTP response for /api/v1/instance, bug your admin. ;) "

...so, I am bugging you. Would this be a config file edit or something more difficult?

Thank you.... 😉 🍷
