       Is there any setting to switch on seeing posts in all federated servers? If I visit the profile of some people in other servers, their posts often don't show. It says e.g., "23 Posts" but only 1 post is listed in their timeline.I also see different behaviour between the website and the iOS app. For example, the website at qoto.org lets me write 65535 characters per post, whereas the app limits me to 250 or so, even if it displays longer posts just fine. Is this a setting that can be adjusted somewhere? The app seems to have few visible settings.#mastodon @freemo

       @albertcardona So, not all apps are written up to date and aware of all features... The app you are using puts an artificial limit on the characters rather than checking with the API like it should. Some apps are written poorly is all, use a better one :)As for why you might not see all posts, sometimes its a rate limiting thing. Other servers sometimes limit  the history of users when you first see it because there is just too much traffic to the server right now **and** this is the first time anyone from here is looking at their profile. Usually once someone is followed after some time (depending on how busy the network is) older posts start to manifest.

       @freemo Thanks very much–how interesting, to learn about the approach a distributed network takes to establish trust and manage limited resources.

       @albertcardona the web interface works well from the phone and comes recommended by a few, but fedilab is the app i usually use. Not sure if it handles our full character size or not as I dont post long things from my phone.
