SUMMARY

Each character of a web links post counts for Tokodon, but a web link only counts as one character for Mastodon.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on "+ Post"
2. Insert some web link (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org)

OBSERVED RESULT

The remaining characters reduce by the length of the link (e.g. to 477/500 for "https://bugs.kde.org")

EXPECTED RESULT

The remaining characters reduce by one (499/500)

Oof, I thought we handled this already. Thanks for reporting.

Comment 2 Joshua Goins 2024-11-27 21:25:01 UTC

Actually this is correct, links do *not* count as one character on Mastodon. By default they count by 23 characters maximum, but this is configurable by your instance should be reflected in Tokodon. Please re-open if your instance's link character count isn't reflected.
