@lynnskyi I bookmarked this post a while back - “Thinking of joining an instance but want to know as much as you can about it before doing so?
Character-count, number of users, how many poll options allowed etc?
Store this handy url away somewhere and modify as needed for your instance.
https://<instance>/api/v1/instance
This tip courtesy of @12 who I thank kindly.
I've used it so many times to delve deep into a server I'm curious about.”

@sarahmatthews @12 Thank you!!! I knew I'd seen this somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I won't lose it this time.

@outofcontrol @acarson Thank you. I'll read it and see if I can make sense out of it.

@lynnskyi @acarson In case it is helpful, you can hit the end point in your browser to see what info you have access to. For example, the server I am on is https://phpc.social/api/v1/instance
