Mastodon no. Glitch Social (Mastodon fork) and Pleroma are the ones where you can set a different character limit even as admin.

In Mastodon, that option was hardcoded from certain begining until August 2020 when I left the network. I even remember some threads in Mastodon repository about it and Eugen not wanting to provide support.

Ok my bad. I didn't know you couldn't change it at all without using a fork. That's a bit of a shame I think. To be honest the more I think about it Mastodon isn't always the best thing to host anyway unless you are planning on a large community.
