Are missing link previews on npr.org articles posted on Mastodon a known issue?

I have recently created two tools for promoting your favorite fediverse communities. (And you can even use them together!)

The first one lets you create a customizable invitation page with your favorite apps and starter packs (collections will be supported soon!): https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-invitation/

And also the Join the Fediverse zine, with the last page allowing you to link to your custom invitation.

Hope you will all find these useful!

Applauding @admin for taking a strong, well-argued stand on this.

Can we get more admins onboard?

hi #MastoAdmins,

Is there any way to limit the size of files you receive from other instances?

My #Mastodon server often receives huge files -- 100s of MBs in size (videos). I'd rather block them. My Media Usage can get out of hand very quickly.

I can see anything in the docs.

I also run a #GoToSocial instance, and I can limit what I receive. It just means the user has to click a link to open the file on the remote instance. Seems a great solution.

Thanks

Experimenting a bit more with the Fediverse Invitation page based on lessons learned from https://communities.jointhefediverse.net.

Ideally, all the extra information would be included in the server metadata, but until then, maybe server admins interested in using this project can reach out and I can add it manually?

Eg, for mastodon.social: https://invite.jointhefediverse.net/?server=mastodon.social&apps=1,2,3,5

Addendum: Another possible outcome of this prototype could be opening an FEP to include additional details inside nodeinfo, such as links to annual reports, membership price, etc.

Does this already exist? Would anyone be interested in helping write it?

Let me know!

Found this… From their page, which also has a section on privacy, etc.:
“If your server is providing data to tags.pub, and you don't want your content to be boosted by tags.pub accounts, you can add the #NoTagsPub hashtag to your account bio. (If you've already got a #NoBots or #NoBot hashtag in your account bio, we'll also skip any boosts.)” #FediAdmins #MastoAdmins

Now, I'm mainly going by anecdotal evidence of this happening, but it definitely feels like it comes up often enough when people discuss giving up on the fediverse, or not being interested in joining.

And I get the need for a mechanism for deleting potentially illegal content. That makes sense, definitely important.

But maybe it's worth opening a conversation on how to better address this, because "here's a list of followers and follows you lost, good luck" is not a great solution.

Maybe after there's a way to migrate and bring your posting history, if and whenever Mastodon supports that.
