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.

Notifications

Has these additional fields under the pleroma object:

  • is_seen: true if the notification was read by the user
