MODERATORS
It is, but maybe they mean they want no limit whatsoever on post length.
which, well, if your instance starts sending out megabyte-sized text posts I don't expect it to stay federated with many others for very long.
I mean, just set the limit to a ridiculously high number then? I'm not aware that Lemmy has any in-built limits, but I could be wrong.
I believe that Mastodon instances with limits only link to external posts that exceed the limit, they don't display the whole post.
Of course you can always run into network limits if you get huge posts, but that applies to everything and doesn't have anything in particular to do with Mastodon.
