I’ve tried to create a few BORU-style posts, but the fact that Lemmy has a 10k character limit to posts is proving limiting.

Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions for how to format/share stories within this limit are welcome!

If it's a post from reddit you'd like to bring over, screen shots work. Otherwise, I'm not sure. 😭 I miss BORU the most. lol I was addicted to it.

Screenshots unfortunately aren’t super accessible for screen readers :(

It was suggested to me in another thread to use something like Pastebin to share large amounts of text, but when I tried, it wasn’t formatted :( I’m also looking at possibly using Github pages, which will apply the correct formatting, but I’m thinking users are unlikely to click thru to 3rd party webpages anyway
