Increase character limit for toots from 500 to xxxx
-
Hi all
The default character limit for new toots is 500. But I would like to increase that limit for my special instance.
How can I do this? And hopefully make it a permanent change, not overwritten by updates?
Any help?

@stoccafisso do you have a link on how to do this from the upstream docs? Then we can see what adjustments, if possible, we can do on the package side.
Hi @nebulon
I am not sure this is directly from upstream docs, but here is one suggestion:

The above article mention these sources:

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/@stoccafisso hm looks like some code patches are required or at least add some ruby files. This won't work with the code residing in a read-only fs section on Cloudron and I don't think it makes sense to allow such patching, as it makes it very hard later to ensure correct updates.
In your case I guess you could fork the mastodon app package and create your own with that patchset.

@nebulon Thank you for having a look at it.

@stoccafisso patches to make the character limit customizable were rejected upstream . see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/5697#issuecomment-345078582 for upstream author's comment .
