Reddit self-post body character counter
Reddit self-post bodies can be much longer than titles, with a practical 40,000-character body limit on text posts. Markdown, spaces, line breaks, links, code blocks, tables, and quoted text all count. Individual subreddits may enforce stricter rules, flair requirements, automod checks, or title conventions before a post can be published.
