Oh, derp. I forgot fosstodon doesn't support Markdown.

Eugen, we can haz markdown and longer posting limits, plox? :D

I'm on four, including pixelfed. =3

Fosstodon has a lot of reach, though, not that I care so much about such things, but it is nice to be heard from time to time. ;)

I've loved using @gotosocial on @polymaths, but federation issues on a small instance are challenging at times.

I wish there was a #GlitchSoc instance finder out there (haven't been able to find one yet). It seems to have all the features I want, and yet is mastodon-based.

@RL_Dane Markdown is currently frontend sugar IIRC, and posting limits are set per instance. The latter won’t change but the former really should IMO ;)

@ianthetechie

That's good to know.

Also, I found a very convenient way to get the post limit:

instance=social.example.com; curl -s "https://$instance/api/v1/instance" |grep -o '"max_characters":[0-9][0-9]*' |cut -f2 -d:

@RL_Dane
You're back on fosstodon? What happened with polymaths?

Nothing, just missed some of the big-instance benefits 😁
