 Okay, new Hometown release is out. It's v1.0.6+3.5.2 and contains mostly bugfixes and three new features. I will explain the features (and maybe some bug fixes) in this thread. Full release notes and upgrade instructions here: https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/releases/tag/v1.0.6%2B3.5.2 11 comments
New feature 2: The server-wide "About" pages now show in limited federation mode. Limited federation is a Mastodon feature that hides things like profile pages and directories etc from other servers, plus lets you make an allow-list for federation. This is good, but it also hid your server's "About" page. That's where important information like your Code of Conduct goes, and it makes sense to show that to everyone. New feature 3: The "compose" box no longer has keyboard focus when you load the web client. Auto-focusing this assumes that you are likely to make a post as soon as you load the page. This often isn't true, and it means that keyboard shortcut users have to tab out before beginning to navigate. Thanks to @raboof for the PR and @weirdwriter for a quick screen reader consultation. Bugs fixed include: - lots of CSS tweaks and fixes My next planned Hometown release is going to be v1.1.0. I am trying to do actual project management on this one, so I have tagged all the features I plan on introducing. You can see them here: If you want to comment on any of the planned v1.1.0 features, please comment on the Github issue directly (preferred) or @ me here.

@Lore Yeah, dashed border is friend-camp-only. It was a proof of concept that proved to me it's a good feature |
