Just a reminder:

Mastodon != ActivityPub != Fediverse

It's been driving me up the wall how often people act like Mastodon is a synonym for both AP and Fedi.

For clarity:

Mastodon: A server built on the activitypub protocol

ActivityPub: the language used Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube, etc to federate with eachother

Fediverse: vague term encompassing all federated platforms, including not only ActivityPub but also Diaspora, and Gnu.social among others. (One of the reasons I host a Friendica instance is because it supports the entire fediverse and not just AP)

The real problem with AP is it doesn't support blogging and podcasting solutons. I think it's related to the 500 character limit /s

@raf WordPress, Plume and Writefreely can all do long form blogging over activitypub, and Castopod does podcasts over it. The 500 character limit is imposed by your instance (or I think by Mastodon itself?), I'm on an Akkoma instance and I have 5000 characters, a previous instance I was on had 10000!

@Vel 💽 @raf it takes a while for the edit to propogate. You sent 10 minutes after the edit, but it could be an hour from now before your instance gets the edit.
