Questions.
What is the Bluesky character limit?
Bluesky allows 300 graphemes. A family emoji counts 1. This counter uses Flaghand’s post check, including how it shortens displayed links.
How does Bluesky count emoji?
One visible character counts as one, including a flag, skin tone or joined family emoji. Combining accents stay with their letter.
How are links counted?
Flaghand’s Bluesky check counts the displayed link, using the same shortening as its post preview. A raw URL pasted directly into another client may use more characters.
Can I preview my post too?
Open the Bluesky post preview to check its layout before posting.
Is my text uploaded?
No. It is counted in your browser. Your text stays in this tab until you choose to open a Flaghand draft.
