        Tips for writing Reddit copy

        • Check the subreddit rules before trusting the 300 character ceiling - many are stricter.
        • Markdown characters count, so a heavily formatted post burns budget fast.
        • Break long posts into paragraphs; a 40,000 character wall will not be read.
        • Comments cap at 10,000 characters, which is plenty for most replies.
