Bluesky character limit FAQs
What is the Bluesky character limit?
300 characters per post. Bluesky's own post schema sets 300 graphemes and 3,000 bytes, so a family emoji built from several code points still counts as one character.
Does Bluesky count emoji as one character?
Yes. Bluesky counts graphemes, what you see as one character, so combined emoji count as one. This counter does the same, while most counters count them as two or more.
How long can a Bluesky hashtag be?
Up to 64 characters (graphemes), per Bluesky's rich-text schema. A post can also carry up to 8 extra tags outside the text.
Is Bluesky's limit the same as X's?
Close but not the same: Bluesky allows 300 characters, a free X post 280. If you post to both, write to 280 or let a tool shorten the X version.
Can I schedule Bluesky posts?
Not in the Bluesky app. Scheduling tools connect with an app password, never your main password; see our guide to scheduling Bluesky posts.
