Why Character Limits Matter
Bluesky enforces a strict 300-character limit per post, and text exceeding this limit cannot be published.
- At 300 characters, Bluesky has a tighter limit than Twitter (280) when accounting for thread numbering.
- Concise, well-crafted posts perform better on short-form platforms.
- Links, mentions, and emojis all count toward the 300-character limit.
- Accurate counting prevents failed post attempts and last-minute editing.
- For longer content, consider breaking your text into multiple connected posts.
