Frequently asked questions
Do links and mentions count differently toward the limit?
Some platforms count links as a fixed character length regardless of actual URL length, so check the current platform rules if you're close to the limit.
What's the current character limit I should design for?
Limits can change over time and vary by account type, so it's worth double-checking the platform's current stated limit alongside this counter.
