The main idea of "Photoland", or what can you do on it?

Some features are still cut in it, but there is one important advantage: a wider limit on the number of users that can be written to per unit of time. So, if in the browser version you can write to less than 10 users, then in order to write to the 11th, you will either have to wait a dozen hours, or pay FM. In the case of the mobile version, you can write to more than 10 users at the same time, and the corresponding restriction is removed within 1 hour.
