Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon

A Pleroma instance can be identified by " (compatible; Pleroma )" present in version field in response from /api/v1/instance

Flake IDs

Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are sortable strings

Attachment cap

Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.

Timelines

Adding the parameter with_muted=true to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.

Statuses

Has these additional fields under the pleroma object:

• local: true if the post was made on the local instance.

Attachments

Has these additional fields under the pleroma object:

• mime_type: mime type of the attachment.

Accounts

• /api/v1/accounts/:id: The id parameter can also be the nickname of the user. This only works in this endpoint, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
