Is there a setting to sort of collapse very long posts from instances without a character limit per default?

@Joseph I take it you're using the official Mastodon mobile app?

If so, no chance. The official Mastodon mobile app seems to be hard-coded against the assumption that the whole Fediverse only consists of vanilla Mastodon with a maximum of 500 characters.

If you don't like that, try another app like Mona or IceCubes for iOS or Tusky for Android. Of course, that requires getting used to the app not having the same name as the "service".

To my best knowledge, the official Mastodon mobile app is the only Fediverse frontend that can't collapse posts. In fact, it's most likely the worst and most lack-lustre Mastodon app out there.
