> Truncating a version string at max chars looks weird in the UI,

Yep. fediverse.observer is "good UI and noob-friendly", jointhedont, etc.; there are a lot of those, so at some point I gave up on trying to figure out what a normie might want and went with "useful to sysadmins and coders". (I think I'm not good at making a thing that is appealing to that kind of audience but I am good at making tools for people that make tools.) :autismapproved:

I don't really like trying to parse out information from the version; only pain comes from trying to make sense of opaque identifiers.

> My version string: Pleroma 2.9.1-480-g213b01a1-fluffytail-dev, is 42 characters for example.

Well, to be precise, "2.9.1-480-g213b01a1-fluffytail-dev" is 34.
