#Mastodon 4.3 is out! ๐ŸŽ‰ We've made notifications easier to manage and improved the look and feel of the whole app across the board. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! See what you can expect once your server upgrades:

@Mastodon Thank you! As for "Helping writers and journalists", it was not clear to me if it is still a manual process. I'm a writer, and you like to have this set on my account.

Eugen Rochko

@vladcampos No, it's no longer manual! Or rather, now it's manual on your side. Go to the Verification tab on your profile settings and add the domains you'd like to appear on under Author Attribution.

@Gargron Thank you. May I suggest adding that link to the blog post?

vladcampos

@Gargron @Mastodon Good morning. I set everything up, and posted some articles after that, and it's not working here. Is there anything else that I have to set up?

@Mastodon not seeing this in the UK! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

@Mastodon Any way to go back to the previous theme? The new one is very hard to read and harsh on the eyes :S Other than that, great job!

Albert Cardona

@Mastodon Thank you! Grouped notifications are a game changer.

@Mastodon glad to see quote posts are next on your agenda!

@Mastodon Excellent news! Looking forward to the improvements.

@Mastodon Great update, the gui now looks so much better on the web! ๐Ÿคฉ

@Mastodon congrats, but on my mobile device (Pixel 5, LOS 21, Firefox 131) the UI is noticeably less responsive while scrolling.

@Mastodon change it back it's giving me eyestrain ๐Ÿ’•

@Mastodon Does this mean we'll actually see this feature added somewhere in the 4.3 branch? Because that would be awesome.

A screenshot of a bit of the blog post, under the heading "what's next?" with the following bit highlighted: "Now that 4.3 is done, our focus for the next release will be on implementing the highly requested features of quote posts".

@Mastodon I wondered why my instance was looking a tad different, ta. ๐Ÿ™‚

@Mastodon Yarn 4 is required. Webpacker does not support Yarn 4. So I can't update the server.

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
Webpacker requires Yarn ">=1 <4" and you are using 4.0.2
This version of Webpacker does not support Yarn 4.0.2. Please downgrade to a supported version of Yarn yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/insta
Exiting!

@Mastodon Can we have a 'not quite so bright' theme please. I prefer light themes but not THAT light. Or is this something the server admin can add?

@Mastodon Remember to read the release notes!
Just saying from someone who didn't.....๐Ÿ˜œ

@Mastodon I follow the releases via github RSS. While this update had more steps, it was one of the most pain-free updates I've had with Mastodon!

@Mastodon

Awesome! Yet I will be super duper happy when mixed media upload (image/video) will be possible! :D

@Mastodon

Any news on when maximum characters per post will be configurable by admins via their console?

@Mastodon Urgent appeal, please help my family in Palestine, Gaza. We have been living for a year in a deadly war, experiencing hunger, poverty and displacement. Your simple donation can help my family get out of Gaza and give them a chance to live in peace. Please do not leave us ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโค๐Ÿ‰

Sorry to say notifications are broken on the android app. The notification tab in the app won't update or show complete info.

Happened a month or two ago on my phone, then it seemed to be fixed. Now happening again, and also on my tablet. I saw a few other people mention this too.

Reinstalling the app via playstore doesn't help.

Also, links to YouTube no longer work. Clicking on the link gets a 'no app installed to handle that' warning.

Mastodon 2.7.2 (121)

Am I on the wrong version?

Edit: I have all the latest Android and OneUI updates. Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7. Cl3ared the Mastodon cache. Rebooted. Reinstalled the app. Rebooted. Didn't help.

@BobHorowitz @Mastodon @Gargron I finally figured out why it was happening, I forgot to copy-paste several lines of code ๐Ÿ™ˆ
And I didn't notice it because mastodon.social is on 4.3. Fix will be available soon in the next minor update.

@grishka @Mastodon @Gargron Great! Thank you for checking into this!

Best regards,

New version installed and it is working ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Thanks.

@Mastodon It still needs to look better. I can help with Figma mock-ups if you have the time to then develop it.

Mastodon keeps improving. It is a quiet way. Mastodon respects privacy. Also, it does not compromise with privacy and security. Mastodon swiftly removes false news or untrue information if someone finds fake news or unfounded information..

Gilles Gagniard

@Mastodon And as usual, a seamless upgrade performed successfully on my instance! Good job.

nickelson

@Mastodon UI got ugly imo ๐Ÿ˜• Please add previous dark theme as an option to select. Also, I'd really appreciate having good light theme too (less bright, with colored elements) ๐Ÿ™

@Mastodon
I have some tiny suggestion on the notification page.

can we reduce the space taken up by each notifications? it's showing way less notifications in a page than before (I can only see two and a half per screen on my laptop).

for example, can we put the "reply" text and arrow on the same line with user ID and icons? I don't see the reason for these to taken up three lines.

@Mastodon @Gargron

Every time the Mastodon website and app is more beautiful, the changes have been for the better. Thank you!

Only one thing is missing: to correct the bug of avatars and headers in GIF format in mastodon.social, they are very ugly colors and poor quality.

I have contacted GitHub and right here in Mastodon but it seems that they will not give any solution :(

@Mastodon Is it possible on the mastodon app to see which version an instance has?

Nr.1 :mastodon: :nonazis:

@Mastodon
There are users like me who operate an instance that is hosted and maintained by IT companies.
It is therefore almost impossible for me to do certain things.
Is it possible, for example, to add an option to delete accounts in the account moderation? E.g. spam accounts?
At the moment I can block the accounts, but not delete them.
It would be great if there was a button next to the accounts in the account moderation, with confirmation that an account should be deleted.

Allgeier

@Mastodon
The best update is useless if successful things from the old version are broken. The display of the notifications with the avatar on the left and the text column minimised is horrible. Likewise, shortening the text without considering blank lines or simply reducing the text size. Or these mini icons that are almost impossible to hit. You've really messed up.

Martin Be

@Mastodon This new toots look in the mobile android app is not particularly handy for me. How I can switch it back to the previous one? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ™„

@Mastodon v4.3 is still less performant than e.g. @phanpy - see the comparison below using Lighthouse. Please improve your #PageSpeed Insights performance score: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

@Mastodon Will we see private and encrypted one day? ๐Ÿค”

@Mastodon Mastodon has been working poorly since the last update. Video isn't working. Today it has been down for at least 10 hours. It won't load.

Simon

@Mastodon cool but when will we get quote retweets?

Robbie

@Mastodon thereโ€™s a live feed view on the web version that isnโ€™t available in the iOS app - any chance this could be under the tree this year?
