instagram.media.alt_text_max_graphemes - letmepost.dev

What it checks

countGraphemes(item.altText) <= 2200.

Why 2200

Instagram doesn’t publish a distinct alt-text cap in the Graph API; in practice the field accepts up to the same 2200-grapheme limit as the caption. We use the same number rather than guessing tighter.
