Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

What happened?
Hi.
On both
[features.limits.new_user]and
[features.limits.default]i have
message_length = 10000Still Revolt only allows me the standard 2000 chars.
Is there anything else that I should change?
Thank you.
@DeclanChidlow commented on GitHub (Aug 3, 2025):
These are values that can be referenced by clients, but which are not currently referenced by Revite (which is the bundled web front-end currently).
This also effects things like setting max upload sizes.
Revite won't be updated to respect these values as it is being depreciated in favour of new clients.
@D1reW0lf commented on GitHub (Aug 3, 2025):
@DeclanChidlow thank you for the information.
Does that mean that, eventually, the self-hosted repo will start using a new web front-end client?
@DeclanChidlow commented on GitHub (Aug 3, 2025):
Yes. When the new front-end is in such a state that it can replace Revite this repository will be updated to reflect that.
@ITWinVis commented on GitHub (Sep 16, 2025):
Is there a way to change the file size limit in the old frontend, or is this just not supported in the current state of the self-hosted repo at all?
It seems a bit questionable to deprecate features from the branch that's currently the only "Recommended For Use" and "Working State". How stable is the new front end? Is using it over the current one to have this feature a reasonable thing to do?
@DeclanChidlow commented on GitHub (Sep 16, 2025):
You can jump in and modify the source code of Revite and then build it yourself.
The truth is that Revolt is currently in a transitional stage, and time is better spent working on the new stuff rather than spending hours updating and fixing up every little thing with the old web front-end.
