Don't remove extra images or videos from other instances #1975

Pitch

Allow posts that have more than 4 images to be shown.

I think I good way of showing this in the UI would be to have the images scroll horizontally. Something like this, but with an arrow button to scroll
image

Motivation

For example, Pixelfed (and some other platforms) lets users add more than 4 images. But people on Mastodon will only see the first 4, creating a disconnect.

(issue copied from mastodon#19454)

This is currently on my bucket list as a configurable instance wide limit.

The ruby code for this requires not a lot of modification. However, the UI does, since you need to both tell a user "there's more than four images here" and a way to actually view thumbnails for all of them (the "fullscreen" view would not be an issue, as that requires little to no changes as far as I know).

I've found that Mastodon also removes extra videos, it is currently capped at just one.

Mentioning mastodon#14336 since that is the new issue.

Does anyone have a patch they could merge in?

@sinoru, since you have a fork (as you mentioned in the above thread), do you want to merge in a patch that ups the limit from 4 to 32?

Also, if you have a patch that alters the frontend (something similar to what freeplay shows), or if you know something that does, that'd be amazing.

cc @TheEssem since I vaguely remember chuckya having this, or something adjacent to it.

I change it hard coded, So It should be some nicer implementation required. (Limit can be changed by instance)

I can try some thing like: mastodon#27833
But, G doesn't like it.

This is why I'm suggesting to make that PR to the glitch-soc fork, gargon won't add it, but maybe Claire would like it for glitch-soc

Thank you, the maintainer is a bit busy at the moment, but i'm pretty sure it will be considered eventually :)
