- Is there a limit on the length of a post (either question, answer, article, etc) on Codidact sites?
- The current UI only shows this limit for comments, but not for posts - this is **not** a feature request to add something similar to posts, I just want to know what the limit is, if there are different limits per post type, if it's configurable per site, etc.
- I also couldn't find this information in Help Center.
- ---
I've made a test in the [dev server](https://a.dev.codidact.org/), and the limit for both questions ans answers is 30000 characters:- 
- Is this limit set only there, or is the same on production sites? (_I don't want to test here, to not run the risk to create a nonsense post, just to delete it afterwards_).

What's the limit on the length of a post?
