1 # Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
2
3 A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodon version> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
4
5 ## Flake IDs
6
7 Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are sortable strings
8
9 ## Attachment cap
10
11 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.
12
13 ## Timelines
14
15 Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
16 Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
17
18 ## Statuses

20 - `visibility`: has an additional possible value `list`

125 - `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post.
