Tusky drops server error messages

[3geek14]

Detailed description

I tried to send a toot, but Tusky gave me a generic error message saying either the server couldn't be contacted or it rejected the post.

When I tried to send the toot from the website, I saw a clear error message pop-up saying my server doesn't allow toots with multiple videos.

I think Tusky should be able to read the error message from the server and display that to the user.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Write a toot that the user's server will reject
2. Try to send the toot
3. Read Tusky's error message

I'm wondering how you were able to add multiple videos in the first place, because Tusky doesn't let me do that 🤔

From the media selector, I selected both videos, then I confirmed.

error messages are not localized, right? I think web client doesn't just pass them on, they probably handle it before uploading?
