Hello!
👋👋

1. Yes, if you post a link your server generates a preview automatically.
2. There is no way to attach PDFs on Mastodon, you can only attach media files like video, images and audio.
3. I've got a website at fedi.garden which recommends well-run servers, and it has a section on servers with larger posts at
https://fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-size

There is more info about these on the website at:

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @ramkay@mastodon.social Wow. The lead developer of mastodon seems not be friendly towards other fediverse softwares. Huh.

Mastodon will display longer posts from other platforms just fine, so they are friendly towards longer posts from elsewhere on the Fedi and from forked servers too.

The 500 restriction is only for people whose account is on an unmodified version of Mastodon.
