In our latest #Mastodon for Android release, we're making it easier than ever to share profiles using QR codes, among a number of other usability improvements:

@Mastodon
Hey guys, how does one obtain the freedom to post long-ish posts? Have seen many, but the moment I try a few more characters, it's a red-marked indication that I should cut down.
Genuine question, and I wish for such freedom and facility. Thanksmuch.

@Gazeshift You won't be able to get that on mastodon.social.

Either you try to find a Mastodon instance that has a raised character limit. However, there's no list of Mastodon instances with character limits.

Or you move to something that's part of the Fediverse, fully federated with Mastodon, but not Mastodon proper, such as:

Pleroma (5,000 characters by default)
Akkoma (5,000 characters by default)
Misskey (3,000 characters hard-coded, feels very Japanese)
forks of Misskey like Sharkey or Iceshrimp (thousands of characters by default)
Friendica (unlimited characters, handles nothing like Mastodon)
Hubzilla (unlimited characters, handles absolutely nothing like Mastodon, doesn't work with Mastodon apps; this is where I am)
the Streams repository (unlimited characters, handles absolutely nothing like Mastodon, doesn't work with Mastodon apps, public instances are few and hard to find)

They're all guaranteed to always give you many many more characters than vanilla Mastodon plus stuff like quotes, quote-posts and text formatting on top. But you'll have to get used to a wholly different UI and UX.
