   @feditips I just helped someone get some #alttxt on an image. The result was under the 1500char limit in the image editor screen, but when I hover over the image on my server, I notice that the alttxt is truncated as if a char limit was exceeded.

   Is this a bug? just a limit on my server? will vision impaired people with alttxt readers experience the same truncation?

   screenshots included of picture edit pop up and of the resulting hover over on the post.

   and this is the actual post: https://m.ai6yr.org/@exador23/111348850294692098
