Show server info somewhere
Servers provide information about posting limits and other info at /api/v2/instance.
Some of that information could be useful to bundle up and display on a screen to the user somewhere. Maybe on the "About" screen (might be a bit non-discoverable), maybe as another tab on their profile screen (makes some sense, since the profile is tied to a specific server).
Maybe as account preferences? They're not user-settable preferences, but maybe that's the most discoverable place?
Useful information to highlight could be:
- max_featured_tags
- max_characters
- max_media_attachments
- supported_mime_types
- image_size_limit
- image_matrix_limit (rendered as useful maximum width/height)
- video_size_limit
- video_matrix_limit (ditto)
- polls > max_options
- polls > max_characters_per_option
- polls > max_expiration
- translation > enabled
- contact info
- server rules

Hi! I have a question.
If I use the /api/v2/instance endpoint response instead of /api/v1/instance, do I need to add new functions to MastodonApi and create a serialization class (e.g. getServerInfo() function and Server serialization data class)
Yes, you'll need a new function in MastodonApi, and a new data type for the result (unless it's similar enough to the v1 result that it can just be expanded)
@Tak Sorry, I'm having trouble finding time to work on this task, so I'll give up...
I was also looking for this feature. An About Instance menu would be useful. I wanted to know the username of my instance admin and could not find it
