Ok, so yesterday I tried to submit a bunch of photos. I'd turned the file size limit up on my #Friendica instance but it was creaking. When I got it to accept, the files were too large to federate.

This is a test with some of the same photos, but much smaller files. Hoping this one will federate properly. Facebook and Twitter marmalise your files when you upload them. Friendica doesn't.

Three large wind turbines stand on a rise in the distance. Behind them, on rolling hills, are many more. The sun is setting behind them bathing the scene in golden light and casting long shadows in the evening haze.
Sylvia stands in a patch of golden light in a grassy glade in a pine forest. Golden sunlight streams in and it is a riot of colour.
Sylvia stands on a grassy track in the woods just before sunset. She is illuminated from behind and the light is shining through her hair. She is surrounded by pine trees.

I wonder what Pixelfed does about this sort of thing. It's geared to pictures so presumably rather more motivated to have an answer.

Ultimately you're gonna have to conform to the common limits of whomever you federate with.

Yeah but an Activity can encapsulate multiple versions inline (which would get transmitted server-to-server by ActivityPub) as well as a link to a version stored elsewhere.

Ah! I wonder if it just federates hyperlinks rather than the full images?

Yep. I made a pixelfed account and a photo "post" is just an ActivityPub "Note" object containing an attachment with some image metadata and a url.
