Mastodon FAQ
Answers before you connect.
Platform requirements change over time. These details were last verified on 2026-06-22.
Can I connect any Mastodon instance?
silkysips starts from the instance you provide and uses its OAuth flow. The server must support the expected Mastodon-compatible APIs.
What is the Mastodon character limit?
The product defaults to 500 characters, but individual instances may configure different limits.
Can Mastodon posts contain media?
Yes. The current integration supports images and video within the configured media limits and the connected instance's rules.
Why can behavior differ between Mastodon servers?
Mastodon is federated. Instances can apply different policies, limits, software versions, and media-processing behavior.
