Character limit FAQ
›How long can a LinkedIn post be?
Up to 3,000 characters. Almost nobody sees the whole thing without tapping "…see more".
›Where does the truncation actually happen?
Around 210 characters on desktop and around 140 on mobile, though LinkedIn adjusts this slightly based on line breaks and content. Treat these as close estimates, not exact cutoffs.
›Should I write to fit under the truncation limit?
Not necessarily. Write your hook to work standalone in that first 140-210 characters, then let the rest of the post reward the "…see more" click.
Writing the post is the easy part.
gunj handles the hard part, golden-hour replies, warm DMs, and connection requests from your account, in your voice.
