Frequently asked questions

What is the Bluesky character limit?

fanout enforces 300 characters per Bluesky post, counted as Unicode code points. A post can carry up to 4 images.

Do emojis count toward the Bluesky limit?

Yes. A simple emoji is one code point, so it counts as one here. Emoji built from several parts (skin tones, flags, family emoji) are several code points and count as several. Bluesky may weight characters differently, so leave a little room if you are close to the cap.

What happens if my Bluesky post is too long?

fanout splits the text into a reply thread (up to 10 posts), breaking at paragraphs, lines, sentences or words, and publishes it as a chain. Posting by hand, you need to cut it yourself; the thread splitter does this for you.

Is this the same count Bluesky uses?

It is the count fanout uses when it checks a post, based on Bluesky's documented limit as of 2026-10-25. Networks change limits and count some characters differently, so treat a post within a few characters of the cap as unconfirmed until Bluesky accepts it.
