I think this will serve as a decent base combining the editable long description with some auto-generated info about the settings, but should be override-able when we get more generic 'instance pages' support (#881)

something to fix: custom emoji are displayed way too big in the contact card :")

Should i merge this now and we can fix the emoji stuff in a separate patch? or do you wanna do it in this PR?

might as well wait with merging till it's fixed I think, should be soon(tm)

Excuse me, may I propose an enhacement here? I think it's the right place.

wouldn't it be good have a direct link to "/about" in the profile/user-TL page footer? As it happens with "contact" and "instance version". Otherwise this About page is hidden without public links (as far as I'd seen) for casual visitiors.

Having markdown for the long instance description would also help, adding some formatting. In my opinion.

thank you.
