Normal text is limited by the Gemini request max length of 1024 bytes, which is about 500-800 characters depending on language and use of special symbols.
Long text is basically unlimited, a few GB, but on this capsule the server's Titan upload limit is 1 MB (by default on GmCapsule).
EDIT: Long text is max 16 MB, but the upload limit here 100 KB.
Thank you for explaining long text for me!
Actually, I double-checked the code and have to correct myself. bbs.geminispace.org has a 100 KB Titan upload limit, so each long text segment can contain up to that much text. (The GmCapsule default is 1 MB.)
The database schema allows up to 16 MB per text segment. You can still compose a longer post from multiple segments, though. It would be pretty easy for one to edit the database to make `segments.content` a LONGTEXT, allowing 4 GB per segment.

drafting test — i'm drafting this i assume you can only have one poll per post, and it has to be at the end. i couldn't 'add long text' whatever that means
