Character limits

Each platform has its accepted message character lengths. The character count displays the current count. It turns orange when nearing the maximum limit and red when exceeded.

First Link as Embed URL (Bluesky only)

If your message includes links they can limit the available text length considerably. You can extend this by moving the first link in the message as a link preview only. This removes the URL from the message body text and attaches it only as a link preview embed in the posting process.

Settings

Enable the First Link as Embed URL for Bluesky posts on Settings

Current Post Settings

You can override the First Link as Embed URL setting for the current draft post only from Current Post Settings.

Current Post Settings are for the current draft only. They are reset after you have posted or deleted the draft. This allows you to have the general settings on but override them temporarily. For example, if you don't want to use the First Link as Embed URL feature for the current post but want to keep it on for most of the posts.

The character count is underlined when this feature is active. Note the difference in the counts.

Notice the position (empty spaces) and line breaks of the message text after the first link has been removed from the main text. For example, if the link is the last item in your Bluesky message, you can keep the link after the text without any line breaks to avoid empty lines in the final post.
