LinkedIn's limit, explained
The limit
A post holds up to 3,000 characters.
How LinkedIn counts
LinkedIn counts every character as written, links included.
The fold
The feed shows about the first 210 characters, or three lines, then "…see more".
Worth knowing
The first line decides whether anyone taps "see more", so that is where a bold line earns its place.
