    I am trying to move some of my posts from my community on reddit to here, and they are very long. I am able to post short posts, but not long ones. It gives me that spinning circle after I hit post, and I have waited 10 minutes and it hasn’t posted. Works great for shorter things. Is there a character limit im hitting or maybe a spam filter since everything of mine is new?

      What’s long, the post title, or the content? Any indication on how long the ones are that fail?

        The content, ~5k words, 23k characters with spaces. I was able to make a short post but copying/pasting over the long ones seems to not go through. I shortened it until it posted, and the limit is somewhere between 2k words and 1371 words, the 1371 word one being able to be posted.
