You can upload audio files on Mastodon, they can be any length as long as the file is under 40 mb

Supported formats: MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, M4A & 3GP

To upload:

1. Log in through your server's website
2. Click 📎 paperclip icon
3. Select audio file
4. Click Edit, add a text description of the audio (for deaf people) and optionally add a custom image. If you don't add a custom image, your profile image will be shown. Click Apply.
5. Click Publish

Some apps also allow audio uploads.

Thanks for the tip about the custom image. I posted an mp3 of a sad trombone and was surprised to see my profile pic featured. Actually, I wasn't that surprised. It was fitting.

@feditips it'll also make a spectrum visualiser

I presume you mean 40MB.

@feditips Would be nice if we could upload .webm video files.

I'm not sure where to find that text description? Does it only show up in specialized tools?

Josh Lewis!

@feditips So I could make a podcast via Mastodon! Maybe it wouldn't have the RSS side of it, but... maybe it would... ? Interesting!

@feditips can we get a gif allotment @admins? they can even be time sensitive say a few months. #MastodonUpdate The issue is not being able to insert .gif directly from the web.

@feditips "for deaf people"

Also for people who don't want to blast a random audio message on the train
