Describe the bug
Reddit has a limit of 10 000 characters in a comment. In some cases, the bot may reach this limit when transcribing an image that contains many characters, or when transcribing a comment with many images.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Have the bot process a comment that contains an image with more than 10 000 characters (like this one)
The bot crashes as a result of an API error from Reddit saying that the body of the reply is too long.
Expected behavior
The bot should not attempt to post a reply that is longer than 10 000 characters. It should instead trim the comment to 10 000 characters, or split the comment up into multiple comments.
