We just released Mastodon 4.3.1!

It contains some bug fixes and a few small features, like (optional) grouping of follow notifications and improvements the fediverse:creator setup instructions.

Upgrading requires re-compiling frontend assets (if not using Docker), instructions are in the release notes : github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r…

With apologies to those who come at me every few months to complain that some of my toots have #hashtags within the contents instead of "after the contents", this is an argument that can never be won, as I illustrate below.

I'd rather see screen reader applications (or a11y-aware #Mastodon clients) automatically solve the problem by removing the hashtag and/or colors for those who don't want them. Otherwise, you're petitioning each individual instead of fixing the tools. Ya heard me, #MastoDev


We’re growing our product team!

Are you an #iOS Developer who wants to lead our official #Mastodon iOS #App?

This is a remote full-time position and requires an overlap with the CET timezone.

Ideally:

1. You are a senior iOS Developer comfortable with a mature codebase
2. Proficient in #Swift and #Apple Frameworks (UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine)
3. Prior experience with social media networks is a big plus!

The newly released 0.7.0 version of @Tuba, your #GNOME-native #Mastodon client, is friggin' awesome. Not only does it ship tons of bugfixes and allows darker images in dark mode, but it also ships the ability to create, edit and apply words filters (as you can see in my screenshot here) so you can simplify your timelines views.

Congratulations to #MastoDev @GeopJr for this fantastic leap forward!


#Tuba v0.7.0 is now available, with many new features and bug fixes!

✨ Highlights:
- Filter handling and editing
- User and Post reporting
- AdwDialogs (thanks oscfdezdz@mstdn.social)
- Tracking parameter stripping on paste (thanks kop316@fosstodon.org)
- 1:1 character counting with Mastodon
- Syntax highlighting

Just a heads up that there will be update is coming to the Mastodon Auto-installer script in just a few days.

It'll be fully interactive, meaning no more code modifications in the script! 🎉 Simply respond to the server prompts during script execution.

And guess what's next? We're considering a GUI installation wizard! 🔮

Check it out here:

Happy installing

Am collecting Mastodon server software feature requests - specifically for moderation enhancement that might be helpful as #Threads federates in.

Looking for those that can be doable inside a month or two timeframe, and that don't need #ActivtyPub spec to change first. (Which takes time)

See what you think of this list: and add any others you think fit to me in the comments.

Recently, several users expressed a desire for a way to quickly check if the images in the toot they were about to boost were described. It would be nice if Mastodon itself offered warnings for that, as well as for forgetting to describe media in your own posts, but until then, this is actually one problem admins can fix on our own!
All you need to do is go into the site settings and add a bit of CSS code that will display a red border around any undescribed media. There are two examples available, depending on how subtle or noticeable you want the border to be; experiment and see what you like!

Thanks to @IngaLovinde for thinking of the starting code and @FiXato for improving on it! They did all the work here; I am just sharing this along.
Open this post in a new tab and look at the image to see how this can look like. The example image is my avatar, described in another pinned post.

Some features include:

• Unlisted posting
• Federated timeline
• Alt text viewer
• Bookmarks
• Pinning posts
• Handling follow requests

… and many more!
