What counts toward 63,206
Every character of body text, mentions, hashtags, emoji, and line breaks. Attached links preview separately and do not count against the ceiling, but the pasted URL text inside the post does.
Practical limits
The 63,206 ceiling is generous; in practice, the fold at 477 characters is the number that governs how you write. Feed algorithms also throttle very long posts. If you have a long-form thought, split it into a lead post and a comment thread.
