I can't on mine, because I'm on a self-hosted paid monthly subscription plan via masto.host, and they don't allow you that privilege of increasing toot character length. I would have to sign with a separate instance from another platform like Lenny in order to have more room to toot.

@fionafokus

That is so unfortunate. And I was thinking seriously about opening up another instance on pixelfed to allow for extended essays.

Is there a safer alternative out there that allows for more than 500-character toots and 4 images??
