Föderation EN Fr 08.11.2024 16:17:41 Reminder to everyone: Mastodon counts all links as 23 characters. Even if you use a link shortener. If you use a shortener, all you do is obscure the link's destination (and make the link dependent on that shortening service). Many of us will avoid clicking on such obscured links. You're almost certainly *lowering* your engagement, traffic, whatever. Just link directly. It doesn't cost you any characters. |

Föderation EN Fr 08.11.2024 17:12:32 @ru Technically, it's 23 characters for https links, and only 22 for http ones. I think they mostly do count emoji as only 1 character. I just tried a bunch, including a couple of "combining" ones (like 🏳️⚧️ and 👨🏻🦲) and each one only dropped the "characters left" counter by 1. |
