@Mastodon I am not sure if it's a bug, it could be my fault for having three Firefox windows and a zillion tabs open, and thereby low on memory. Anyway, a restart solved the problem, the message went away and things are normal now. Thanks again for your help.

@FediTips Thank you, I will check with those admins.

@FediTips Thanks for offering your help! I am using Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 and occasionally get a "rate limited, try again after HH:MM" message when trying to post or reply or favorite a post. I will then get about a one minute window to post and then get locked out again. Is mastodon.social too busy, or do I have too many mastodon tabs open?
