While Mastodon has a relatively low character limit by default, this isn't applied to externally-received posts, so you can show (much) more text there. When you do shorten it, it would be helpful to have an indicator like […] to make it clear the text isn't just cut off.

Longer posts wouldn't be annoying to receive since fediverse software is generally very good at collapsing long posts into a "read more" fadeout automatically. (The current post length is enough to trigger this in the mobile app.)
Mastodon will show media attachments outside of this collapsed section, so no UX breakdown in that regard either.

One reason the current limit concerns me is that it cuts off the funding links of a podcast I follow.
(It doesn't have the necessary metadata to display the "FUNDING" profile attachment, as it's hosted on Spotify.)

A provided Google Podcast export contained unescaped quotes and was causing the upload and parse to fail

Unsure why this is happening. Is it the bridge or is there something PodcastAP can do to resolve the request.

Found if you cancel and then try again on the active server, the request can go through

As seen in this post, the emoji size should have a maximum size.

Some hosts (ex: Castopod) are already on the Fediverse. Show these accounts over the AP bridge.

OPML uploads from android are triggering the image upload dialog. Even selecting the opml/xml file does not work.

I found uploading from a OneDrive folder results in an error. Uploading the same file locally does not work.
