Fit the idea into 300 characters
Bluesky counts visible characters rather than raw bytes, which is how this counter measures too, so combined emoji and accented letters match what the app enforces.
Because the limit is 300, drafts often need one pass to cut. Remove repetition and lead with the claim; if a link is the point, attach it as a card instead of spending characters on the URL.

Pro tips
Pro tips for Bluesky posts
Counted by visible character
Bluesky measures the limit in graphemes, so a combined emoji counts as one. This counter uses the same approach when your browser supports it.
Links share the budget
Posts with links lose characters to the URL text unless the link is attached as a card.
