Can any of my followers out there recommend an instance on Mastodon that:
A. Doesn’t take FOREVER to upload pictures
B. allows for unlimited text
?
I love being on here, but if you’re not on the right instance, it can be a massive pain.
Help please.

@TheVinylApe2 hi, i'm not a follower but I would recommend trying one of the other iOS apps (ice cubes is a popular choice: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ice-cubes-for-mastodon/id6444915884) as the official one is quite well-known for being slow at uploading pics.
here's a list of instances with much larger wordcounts, arranged in descending order: https://mastodon.help/instances/en?lang=112&desc=&minu=100&maxu=10000&minau=10&minc=1000&exnox=1&exregc=1&exappr=0&exlcko=1&ord=charsd&p=1

@TheVinylApe2 I have no issues posting/uploading on mine, but I may not have your technical needs

@TheVinylApe2 Interesting. I use https://universeodon.com/about - 1000 character limit. Seems fast, well, faster than my pixelfed.social is anyway :)
Never seen one that allows unlimited text... you may want to look at Lemmy or BeeHaw for that... though they're more like Reddit in presentation.

@bgrier 1,000 is fine. I’m never going to need more than that.

@TheVinylApe2 Sounds like you've got a few options here.
The reply by @fc reminded me about those issues. Yeah, they were kinda annoying for a few months there but they did some work and I haven't noticed issues recently. Multi-image uploads have worked for me, edits are fine, seem smooth. I've given them a few beans to help keep things going (reminder to self to send them a few more, it's the new year after all).

@TheVinylApe2 Beige.party allows 11,000 characters. Not sure about image uploads in large amounts tho.

@FeloniousPunk we’re not talking large amounts.
Just three.
Every post I make that has pictures has THREE images. Front cover. Back cover. Record.
That’s it. 😂

@TheVinylApe2
I haven’t had issues with photos often on c.im. 10,000 character limit.

@icastico @TheVinylApe2 +1 it’s pretty much hassle free

@TheVinylApe2 Well, unverseodon has a 1000 character limit, which I think is more than most.
Caveat: It went through a protracted period of performance and stability issues, but I think it's running on new/upgraded hw now and it's been smooth performance and easy uploads for the past number of weeks or possibly several months since.

@fc no such luck for me. Since Day 1 on this instance, I can’t batch upload photos without it taking WAY too long. It forces me to do one at a time, and even then, it’s slow.
I’d hate to lose my posts by switching over, but at this point, I just can’t stand it anymore.

@TheVinylApe2 This is actually my second instance - the first one had all kinds of problems in Nov '22, when I joined in the twexodus, so after 2 weeks I moved. I toyed with doing the same when my current instance was getting HIGHLY annoying but decided to ride it out rather than losing my posts.
I don't think I've ever uploaded more than one photo at a time so I can't vouch for its performance on that one.

@TheVinylApe2 FYI, you won’t find an unlimited post character limit. Not unless someone is running a fork of the official Mastodon code. You can find higher limits, though it’s a bit of a pain for admins. A custom limit isn’t saved in config files, so admins have to edit the code after every update.

@benetherington that’s fine. All I need is 1,000.

@TheVinylApe2
I'm setting up a different identity over at kolektiva.social, mostly for their 10k character limit plus blocking threads.net. Haven't posted over there yet but it seems... okay

@TheVinylApe2 The best thing you can do is move away from mastodon.social. It's much too crowded and it's servers are in Germany. I would recommend mastodon.world if you were on this side of the ocean, but I guess you'd better choose an instance at your end.

@TheVinylApe2 I had similar issues. Cupoftea.social is where I found myself. It’s been great so far. Added bonus the admin is a vinyl collector and there are a lot of like minded people on there. I recommend it.
