While most sites/apps support about 2000 bytes (2KB), some can handle more... Twitter and Slack, for example, allow 4000 bytes in a link. 4000 bytes is enough

- yourad_io 8y agoThe HN frontpage bitty that I posted in another comment is around 8K. [1] I also did a reddit one that works on my browsers[2] (copy/paste URL into new tab) at 26K (!). Which is apparently too much for HN. (Where's my free 5GB of storage for signing up?!)
