[Feature Request] Support posting multiple toots as thread

[jbalint-de]

When creating a post with content that exceeds my instances character limit I would like to be able to split the content in multiple suitable posts that get posted as replies to the respecting previous toot as a thread.

This could be an option recommended by the UI when detecting an exceedance of the character limit of the current instance or an option able to be activated by the user by ticking a box etc.

Thanks for your work on providing the fediverse client. :tada:

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm a bit late to this, but as I'm going through old issues now, I'll raise some concerns.

Splitting text would be easy, but focusing on the 'posting multiple toots at once' part, it raises an issue, what if one of the toots fails to be published? Even if we follow all limits, like we currently do, it could fail for whatever unrelated reason. That would leave incomplete threads up:

[post 1 succeeded] => [post 2 failed] => [post 3 doesn't get posted]

Aka, we can't know in advance if anything will fail and the only options are either removing whatever has been published or letting incomplete threads up
