If you go over that limit, there won't be any kind of indicator/message saying so. If you try to submit a post, you will get a forever loading icon, and the post will never be submitted.
So make sure to check your character count.

it's a hardcoded limit defined here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/d97ff65fe1e9c31e9f7c977a66100816816e07be/crates/utils/src/utils/validation.rs#L20 and checked here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/d97ff65fe1e9c31e9f7c977a66100816816e07be/crates/utils/src/utils/validation.rs#L71
