@design_RG Do you still have that link to the patch that fixes the character count limit on mobile? Also any other code for patches you want to see added now is the time.

@freemo I would like to see Renato's port of the GlitchSocial Local, Instance only post option.

Have a git location for it :

"it's glitch soc code, just extracted to Mastodon code base, there's a pr over at https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/8427 "

Regarding the character limit, All the info I have seen so far seems to be that it needs to be manually edited. Every time an update or new release comes out. Because Gargron likes the 500 chars and wants to make it harder to change it.

@freemo There was this post, there might be something you can use at the Pleroma site mentioned?

@design_RG ill find it...

@freemo https://pleroma.site/api/v1/instance seems to be a configuration file for that instance, which mobile clients might use. But no help for us there, I think.

But there was an instance that has some modifications mentioned in help pages :

@design_RG That PR looks like it will be nightmare to pull in.. ill try though...

@freemo If it is complicated then don't worry about it. Would be a nice addition, but don't want to cause a lot of work just to add a feature.

Thank you!

@design_RG Its difficult, but thankfully I'm fairly expiernced at this stuff. Good chance I can bring the branch up to date and get it to work.

@design_RG I cant really test anything fully locally since im not testing from a lice domain. But local-only toots appear to work now too...

@freemo That is neat! 😄

I was surprised by the level of discussion generated in that Git page, by people pro and against this feature. GlitchSocial already has it and I don't see any problems with it, it also seems to work well at Renato's instance, which is primarily in a foreign language and I see people using it.

@design_RG I cant think of a single valid argument against it. What I eally want to see is the more controversial federate-only-no-local :)
