Features  /  Platforms  /  Mastodon

Mastodon, whichever instance you’re on.

Content warnings, four privacy levels, and editing after publishing. Federated, so limits vary a little by instance. We read them from yours rather than assuming.

What you can publish

POST
Text with up to 4 files
Around 500 characters, depending on the instance you’re connected to.
CONTENT WARNING
A spoiler header
Hide the body behind a warning line, expected etiquette on most instances.
PRIVACY
Four visibility levels
Public, unlisted, followers-only or direct, set per post.

The real limits

Analytics
Thin by design.
Follower counts and basic post engagement. Mastodon deliberately collects very little, which is the point of it, so nobody can give you more.

3 things worth knowing

Content warnings are the norm
Using them well is the difference between welcome and blocked on most instances.
Edit after publishing
Supported natively, unlike almost everywhere else.
No algorithm
Chronological timelines mean posting time matters more here than anywhere else in the set.

Keep the fediverse on the same calendar.
