Earn the “see more” click
LinkedIn allows 3,000 characters, but the feed shows only a few lines first. A strong post makes the reader curious enough to expand it, so the opening sentence matters more than the total length.
The fold preview shows roughly where the post is cut on desktop; on mobile it is shorter. Write the first two lines so they stand alone and promise something specific.

Pro tips
Pro tips for LinkedIn posts
The fold comes early
LinkedIn truncates long posts behind “see more” after roughly 210 characters on desktop, and sooner on mobile. The first sentence has to earn the click.
Space for structure
Short paragraphs and line breaks improve readability but use characters. Budget for them in long posts.
Hashtags and mentions count
Tags and mentions are part of the post body, so they share the same limit.
