Changes wont Apply?

[MConsuela]

Hello, i did some changes according to these Tutorials

https://draklyckan.se/2021/11/how-to-increase-the-character-limit-for-toots-in-mastodon/
https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-increase-the-number-of-mastodon-poll-options/

now i did

cd live
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
exit
systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
systemctl reload mastodon-web
systemctl restart mastodon-streaming

and when i visit website.com/api/v2/instance it tells me about the Changes, but they arent actually applied and im stuck with both old limitations?

also second question is there a tutorial to Increase the Limit of the "Extra Fields" from 4 to X in the User Profile like in Glitch-Soc?

I've just changed the character limit on my instance with the instructions you linked to with one caveat. When carrying out the first instruction, I found compose_form.js didn't exist, but compose_form.jsx did, and seemed to match what I needed to edit.

Increased the character limit to 1,000 and have succeeded in posting a toot of 936 characters.

Are you seeing any errors after your changes?

[StrangeMinds1960]

My browser showed 1,000

I don't think this is the answer (because I know of one instance that claims a limit of 65,000 characters), but have you tried re-doing it with a limit of 1,000 characters in case there's some hard-coded limit elsewhere?

Also (and I haven't looked into this), would the poll settings you changed have affected the character limit in any way?

Finally, you did refresh you browser tab after making the changes?

Thanks, somehow it just worked, before it always said "its already newest version" now it actually did compile.

[StrangeMinds1960]

Ah, so it didn't compile at first?

Don't know about the extra fields
