We just shipped a few federation fixes:

- Improved comment threading
- Fixed bug that rejected media with alt text > 255 chars *
- Fixed bug that ignored remote media alt text
- Fixed UI bug to display alt text on hover
- Fixed remote share/reblog notifications
- Fixed comment counts & notifications

We also added an Alt Text button to the web compose UI to easily add/edit alt text when sharing a new post!

Expect more fixes & improvements this week ✨

@pixelfed Awesome! I'm excited to see if these fixes will resolve the federation issues I've had from Mastodon to Pixelfed. Will try it later this week. :)

@pixelfed great 😃

Have you planned a release so we can enjoy these enhancements ? 😃

(Yunohost users for instances depends on it)

@pixelfed speaking of federation issues, I noticed that I can't view older posts from accounts on pixey.org, through my pixelfed.social account, and vice-versa. Is that expected behavior?

@pixelfed
The 'remote share/reblog notifications' thing definitely seems fixed, although shortly after I posted some photos my single-person instance managed to get itself stuck on *all* web-serving stuff, not just Pixelfed - restarting Apache appears to have fixed it.

(Restarting the web server after a significant Pixelfed update might be a required thing regardless - I may have just independently discovered this...)
