Hey this actually might be a good place to ask this!

SO I have a mastodon acct but the server admin limits cache to 2w for other servers, so posts on my instance last forever and I can see the entire history of my fellow server denizens, but for everyone else I can only see the last 2w.

I'm not leaving my main acct but I would however like to create an account on a server that will let me go back the farthest on other servers. The problem so far I've run into is that all the "joinmasto [.] com" type sites do not mention cache just a short blurb about the server and the number of accts.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a server that would work for me?

    That is a contender (based solely on assumptions, as I have no idea their cache retention in reality, I just assume it's probably "yes.")

    But then, this post is right, centralization and such. If there is another applicable instance I'd likely pick that one first, though if I can't get any info on it I'll surely try .social first.
