@Mastodon can't wait to try all the features ❤️❤️❤️

Casper

@Mastodon "Add support for uploading WebP files" - I like this, not even Tweetdeck does this.

ladyteruki

@Mastodon : is there a way to see the trends in ALL languages ? This is really what I thought I was getting with the default trends.

Martin Fitzpatrick

@ladyteruki @Mastodon I think that's what the 3rd bullet means. Trends in your own language first, then the rest (in all other languages).

Mr. Funk E. Dude

@Mastodon Wow. That's a lot of work. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and effort. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have this great place to come to.

To everyone else reading this, if you'd like to thank the team, a great way is to become a sponsor. For as little as $1 a month you can help support all of their current and future updates.

@Mastodon I'm kind of changelog illiterate - is there an explanation for why the mobile site moved the navbar from the top to the side?

MoveFastAndFixThings

@Mastodon following #hashtags will be great … so much work in this update 🙏💪🏼

howler0502

@Mastodon Definitely like being able to follow a hashtag!

Ridge

@Mastodon "Add ability to filter followed accounts' posts by language" cool beans! So many nice features in this, awesome stuff

Tim Chambers

@Mastodon Very cool... Once a full, stable release we will run that here. #IndiewebSocial #Admin

Sakti :unverified:

@Mastodon @tchambers ah I was wondering how this works, so every instance will have to update individually right?

urbanbike

Add support for uploading HEIC files (@Gargron) : quid de la taille une fous sur @Mastodon ?
Avec 48 MP, ça peut vite devenir monstrueux :-)

Marc-André Moreau

@Mastodon wow, that changelog is packed with a lot of feature improvements!

digitalfox

@Mastodon Post editing being enabled is fantastic!

And the new filtering system is much appreciated.

Congrats on the v4.0 release candidate, and best of wishes to everyone on getting the final v4.0 out amid all the new activity.

Harry

@josh it’s working pretty well for aus.social

Bret Mogilefsky

@Mastodon looks great, already addresses some things I noticed as a new user!

August

@Mastodon lot of really good stuff in this 4.0 update. Most excited to be able to follow #hashtags. 🎉

Rezha Julio

@Mastodon Thank you, we are already using 4.0.0rc1.

@Mastodon The new UI is a DISASTER for narrow screen mobile. Most UI update would at least give user an option to go back to the previous UI.

@Mastodon Also for new comer, searching panel is hart to find on mobile. Who would know it's hidden in the "#" label?

@flyover @Mastodon
Actually at first glance that was confusing to me too. After 2 days I got to used to it. It would be the waste of space to separate under a different icon / label. Besides the logic stands somewhat to me because when I see hashtags I could associate with grouped content under that phrase just like when you search with a term.

Evie Warner

@Mastodon I just joined and realized after pushed the follow button it says pending . Do I have to approve all followed?

frexy4

@Mastodon follow tags, nice! So many other features and changes, congrats!

ParadisFraise

@Mastodon It's impossible to be certain that an instance will never close, or that the owner of the instance you're on won't one day start making a series of bad decisions. There needs to be a simple way to migrate an entire account to another account in the same instance or another instance, along with subscribers and messages. This is Mastodon's big weak point right now.

Neville Hobson

@Mastodon this is great, esp the huge list of fixes. Thanks!

JesseJAllDay

@Mastodon Awesome! Already a new update and I've had my server running for an hour.

DELETED

@Mastodon
wow!
so cool there are language specific settings!
Reminds me a little bit why I like the way of EU 🇪🇺 based driven thinking.

Micke

@Mastodon Finally we get the possibility to follow hashtags, much appreciated!

snegu

@Mastodon where can I sign up for beta testing the iOS app?

Seasons of Jason

@Mastodon Very awesome to see the ability to follow hashtags, and to translate posts! Thank you.

Hairyloon

@Mastodon
Probably a silly question, but we have a lot of newcomers.
What do we need to run a Mastodon and why should we want to?

Rob Robinson

@apt Saw you were looking to self host and use Docker. Given v4 just went RC, is it worth waiting a teeny bit?

Mattia Guidi

@Mastodon is it available as an *.apk for Android users?

Dismal Manor Gang

@Mastodon cool beans. Adds follow of hashtags. This seems huge for community building. #greyhounds ? Of course we’re dogs. How will it work for tweetup club events like #ZZST (ZombieSquad Special Training) could be a huge asset for migrating Twitter communities.

kus

@Mastodon nice to see we have this live already :)

testing now :D

Zak

@Mastodon There are a lot of great new features here and I really appreciate all the hard work.

There's one change I don't love though: the copy-and-paste workflow for remote interactions. I found the redirect more convenient.

Lily Cohen

@Mastodon adds an api for domain blocks! Nice!

Bob Collins

@Mastodon
Thank you for all your work! You really are contributing to a better world.

Question: Was there any work done on the lists interface? I didn't see it in the release summary.

Jostein Beta v4

@Mastodon as a new mastodon-user not really sure about what users to follow this new feature caught my eye:

> ability to follow hashtag

Exactly what I was looking for! Can’t wait to see the new release in action!

Ann-Marie Warner

@Mastodon I can’t figure out how to post a picture of my dinner!!! Epic fail 😂

@Mastodon Problem using Mastodon app on iPhone .. when trying to post photo and text at the same time the Publish button goes light grey ( instead of white ) and I can’t publish a photo with a text . Why ?

Trader One

@Mastodon At this rate, it will be better Twitter then original. It’s already pretty good and fast. Faster then Twitter which is great on mobile. I would like crypto support: Mint tweets as NFT, crypto donations, pay crypto for following, unlock-able content. Is there plugin support? Crypto support can be in plugin, only hooks in the main code. Federation is the future. #Mastodon #twittermigration #unlock #nft #fediverse #freedom

OrangeDust

@Mastodon This is a huge update, this will change a lot to the better ^^

Evie Warner

@Mastodon will there ever be a way to broadcast live on mastodon?

DanieruOtakuBoy

@Mastodon What about more languages for your official app?
