I'm trying to make a post, but I get this error. I edited the title a couple times, but I'm not sure exactly what is wrong

Title as attempted:
I've got a road trip planned in the not too-far future. It'll be about 2800 mi/4500 km. I'm pretty prepared but I'm sure I'm overlooking some things. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations; your holy grails!
I also retried this right before I replied to you, and I got the same error
I see the issue. Lemmy currently has a max post title length of 200 characters by default. This is enforced server side. I would argue that the server should be returning a more specific error message since the current one is very generic.
I don't want to hardcode a limit on the client since I think this limit can be changed server side.
The client does show a character counter once your title goes past 200 characters so at least you can tell how long the title is.
Oh thank you. I wondered if it was something like that but I thought I saw longer post titles. Sorry for wasting your time, but I do appreciate the response nonetheless
