Titles carry the post

On Reddit, most people decide from the title alone, and the title is the one part you can't change later. 300 characters is plenty; the risk is using too much of it. A title that states the question or the finding plainly is easier to judge at a glance than one that hides it.

Many subreddits add their own title rules: a tag in brackets at the start, a minimum length, or a format for questions. Those come on top of the 300 limit.

Long posts and comments

The 40,000 character body limit is rarely the problem; readability is. Break long posts into sections with headings or bold lead-ins, and put a short summary at the top (many communities expect a TL;DR).

Comments are capped at 10,000. If you are answering a question in depth, a comment near the limit plus a follow-up reply reads better than a wall of text.

Where SociaHive fits

SociaHive doesn't post to Reddit. It schedules posts to Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn and other networks, and handles Instagram DMs automatically, for the channels you run as a brand.

Questions

Does Reddit have a character limit?

Yes. A post title can be up to 300 characters and a text post body up to 40,000. Comments allow 10,000. Individual subreddits can set shorter limits or require a minimum length, so check the community's rules too.

What is the Reddit post character limit?

The body of a text post can be up to 40,000 characters, and the title up to 300. The counter above starts on the title; set "Check against" to "Post body (40,000)" for the body.

What is the Reddit comment character limit?

A comment can be up to 10,000 characters. If your reply is longer, split it into a comment and a reply to your own comment.

Can I edit a Reddit title after posting?

No. Reddit lets you edit the body of a text post but not the title. That makes the title worth checking before you submit: length, spelling and whether it says what the post is about.

Does markdown count toward the Reddit limit?

Yes. Reddit counts the post as written, so markdown symbols, the URLs inside [text](url) links and line breaks all count toward the 40,000.
