is there a way to sort posts/comments by LENGTH? (hexbear.net)

If you sort by Top/All Time you get a lot of effortposts, but you also get short little dunks, wordplay, jokes, etc. What if I want the long posts. What if I want to read all the long juicy posts? Is there some kind of way to do that? Query posts by number of characters?

top 3 comments
sorted by: hot top controversial new old

Not really, but if you sort by most comments it's kinda like sorting by girth

Maybe sort by top in communities more likely to have effort posts? For example dunk tank and chapotraphouse communities will likely not have effortposts.

use the api, probably? even then if you want to go by length of all time that'll be tough
