BlueSky Character Limit: How Long Can a Post Be?

BlueSky posts have a 300-character limit. That limit is part of what makes the feed fast, but it also means long ideas need sharper editing or a thread.

Use the limit as a forcing function

A post that is too long usually has too much setup. Cut the throat-clearing first, then keep the strongest sentence and the clearest reason to care.

Use the free BlueSky character counter to check your draft before posting.

When to split into a thread

If cutting makes the idea less useful, turn it into a thread. Each post in the thread should still do one job, not just continue a giant paragraph.

Use the free BlueSky thread splitter when one idea needs more space.
