Got any estimate on when editing will actually be turned on? Upgrading is a big pain in the ass and none of the other changes feel worth the hassle for my small invite-only instance.

@anthracite @Mastodon There are also security fixes in the update. You donโt have to do the double db:migrate stuff if that bothers you and you donโt mind a short interruption of service.

@joenepraat @Mastodon As you can approve authors/publishers instead of individual posts/links, and there is a limited number of actually regularly popular authors/publishers, the workload is reduced after an initial burst

@Gargron @Mastodon It's still a hell of a job to find out if a user is legit. A lot of servers doesn't have this capacity. I really think it would be good to have an an auto-approve options for the posts. On smaller good moderated servers those posts are already usable. Also an option to report trends is a good idea in my opinion. Another idea is to let users vote posts and trends down (with a threshold to remove them completely). This will make it even more a community process.

@Gargron OK, publishers I understand, but authors is like approving all Mastodon users individually. Better to add something like trusted domains.

@Mastodon meaning that we can order the media attachments? |
@Mastodon as a note the https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases page says the Ruby versions is "2.5 up to 3.1" in the dependencies list, but the actual git checkout (.ruby-version) and install instructions below specify Ruby 3.0.3 instead. I assume the first is a typo, but who knows it could be the second :)
