Mastodon video specs and requirements
A federated social network made of independent servers, popular with open-source and developer communities.
What it is
Mastodon is made up of many independent servers (instances) that talk to each other. Each server sets its own rules, including upload limits.
What it expects from a video
- The preset uses 40 MB, which is the default on mastodon.social. Other servers can set higher or lower limits.
