The number that quietly matters most is the ~210-character cut-off: in the feed, LinkedIn hides everything after it behind a "see more" link (about 140 characters on mobile). If your opening doesn't earn the click in those first couple of lines, the rest of your post is never seen. The preview above shows you that line in real time.
