    I am trying to move some of my posts from my community on reddit to here, and they are very long. I am able to post short posts, but not long ones. It gives me that spinning circle after I hit post, and I have waited 10 minutes and it hasn’t posted. Works great for shorter things. Is there a character limit im hitting or maybe a spam filter since everything of mine is new?

      I also have this issue. The post is about 36K characters long, which is under Lemmy’s supposed 50K limit. So far, I’ve only tried it on desktop Firefox.

      What’s long, the post title, or the content? Any indication on how long the ones are that fail?

        The content, ~5k words, 23k characters with spaces. I was able to make a short post but copying/pasting over the long ones seems to not go through. I shortened it until it posted, and the limit is somewhere between 2k words and 1371 words, the 1371 word one being able to be posted.
