What types of Mastodon posts can Aidelly publish?
Aidelly supports text statuses (up to 500 characters by default), image posts (up to 4 images), and video posts on any Mastodon instance. Per-status visibility (public, unlisted, followers-only, direct), content warnings, and language are all supported.
How do I connect my Mastodon account?
Go to Settings > Connected Accounts and click Connect Mastodon. Enter your instance host (the part after the @ in your handle — e.g. mastodon.social, mas.to, hachyderm.io). Aidelly will open your instance’s login page in a popup so you can authorize the app.
Does Aidelly work with any Mastodon instance or just the popular ones?
Any Mastodon instance. Mastodon is federated, so every server hosts its own API. Aidelly registers an OAuth app on the instance the first time someone connects from it and caches the credentials per-host. If your instance runs the standard Mastodon API, it works.
Can I schedule Mastodon posts for a specific time?
Yes. Set a schedule_at timestamp when creating a post via the dashboard, API, or MCP. Aidelly holds the status and publishes at the exact time you specify.
Can an AI agent post to Mastodon automatically?
Yes. Any agent with access to Aidelly via MCP, REST API, or Claude Skill can create and schedule Mastodon statuses immediately or on a schedule without any human interaction.
What is the character limit for Mastodon?
mastodon.social and most instances cap statuses at 500 characters. Some instances raise that limit — Aidelly reads the per-instance limit at publish time and surfaces an error if your status would be rejected.
Does Aidelly support content warnings?
Yes. Set the spoiler_text / content warning per post in the composer or via the API’s platformSpecific field. Aidelly forwards it to the Mastodon API so subscribers see the warning before expanding the post.
Can I get analytics on my Mastodon posts?
Yes. Aidelly aggregates favourites, boosts (reblogs), and replies per status into the unified analytics dashboard. Mastodon does not expose impressions or reach publicly, so those columns stay empty.
