Thinking of joining an instance but want to know as much as you can about it before doing so?
Character-count, number of users, how many poll options allowed etc?
Store this handy url away somewhere and modify as needed for your instance.
https://<instance>/api/v1/instance
This tip courtesy of @12 who I thank kindly.
I've used it so many times to delve deep into a server I'm curious about.
@FreakyFwoof @12 oh nice! curious actually which instances you're following these days ...
@FreakyFwoof @12 I really think all servers should expose this info without having to use the API endpoint. #GoToSocial does for example.
Handy tip nonetheless, thank you.
@FreakyFwoof @12 Great tip!
@FreakyFwoof @12 You can have even more information by switching /v1/ to /v2/. Enjoy!
