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

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
