Limits	per-object-cap Per-file image_size_limit = video_size_limit = 15360000 bytes (14.6 MiB source per-object-cap 14.6 MiB; per-account unlimited; supported MIME restricted to image/jpeg,png,gif,webp + video/mp4 — no arbitrary blobs (PNG/JPEG wrapper needed).
Binding	per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	Pixelfed is a Mastodon-API derivative: POST /api/v1/media (multipart) then POST /api/v1/statuses with media_ids[]. OAuth2 via /api/v1/apps. Any Mastodon client library mostly works.
Composes with	Worst per-object cap in this slot (14.6 MiB, and photos-only MIME list: jpeg/png/gif/webp/mp4). The multiplier is broad: hundreds of Pixelfed instances, most open. Useful only as a fan-out target, never as primary.
Reliability	pixelfed.social itself returned HTTP 521 (origin down) throughout this probe; pixelfed.art also 521. The software is fine, the flagship host was not.
Notes	Per-account unlimited (Pixelfed has no per-user storage counter). Per-file image_size_limit = video_size_limit = 15360000 bytes (14.6 MiB); 12 attachments per status; image_matrix_limit 2,073,600 px (1920x1080).
