There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today:

Mastodon

⚠️ We are planning to release important security fixes for #Mastodon on July 6th, between 13:00 and 15:00 UTC. They will be available for the 4.1, 4.0 and 3.5 versions as well as a nightly release, to make the upgrade as small and painless for everyone as possible. Be ready to upgrade!

@Mastodon The time display in Japanese has become strange with this update. "○ minutes ago" is displayed as "○ months ago". Please fix it.

@Mastodon why is it anyone can have someone else's post deleted just because they don't like or agree with it? I was hoping there were a more mature, calm attitude at Mastodon but I've already had about deleted bc someone didn't like it and decided it was H8 speech which it wasn't. Why is this happening everywhere? All he did was prevent others who strive for truth from reading different points of view? Am I always to be someone's shoe gum who fears debatell so shuts me up? That's bullying...

@Mastodon Hey there! My account has incorrectly been labeled as a Bot account, and I can't get ahold of anyone to fix it, What should I do?

Shankar

@Mastodon you should add a direct message option like inbox.

Mastodon

You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/

@Mastodon Hi, thanks for the news and the work and sorry to bother: wasn't quote posts' absence an intentional feature not a bug?, I have kind of a recollection in that sense... Thanks a lot.

@Mastodon Almost forgot, “groups” was also mentioned in this announcement :) mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1102

@Mastodon
Did you know that mastodon.social is just one of many Instances of Mastodon the Software as Part of the Fediverse(federated Network) where you can register an Account?

And there are many other Apps on Android and iOS for it, not just Mastodon who tries to force you to register only on there Instance.

It has all the Stuff, being free, privacy-friendly, based on Web Standards and available for everyone. 😉

Hello, @Mastodon. I made a contribution recently, and I cannot find it on this release. Do you know how long it takes for a change to make a release? Thank you.

Mastodon

The most recent update to our official Android app brings the sign-up flow up-to-date with the iOS version, and allows viewing media descriptions!

@Mastodon The about section of my #profile in #mastodon seems to be broken when I add a link. @Mastodon please take a look at this #mastodonbug #bug

Also anyone please tell me where exactly I can report bugs. Thanks in advance

Ray

@Mastodon It would be cool if you added the option to change usernames in an upcoming update.

@Mastodon A wonderful application, I hope that there will be a translation of publications such as Twitter

Mastodon

Today we've released a new update to our iOS app! It brings an improved sign-up flow, home screen widgets, and many accessibility improvements.

@Mastodon please show all followers regardless of servers.

@Mastodon Normally I use #metatext but gave the new #mastodonapp update for iOS a try. Nice design and I can edit posts which Metatext can‘t.

What I don’t like:
- Pinned toots do not show in profiles. This sometimes buries some really great but older content 😏👎
- Visibility of toots can still not be set to „unlisted“. For me not a big thing as I compose longer threads in the browser. But it‘s a useful feature which was implemented for a good reason in mastodon and should be part of the M-app.

Good day, Adam.

@Mastodon

Are you still looking for a product designer? Or would you like some ideas on a product to design?

El Psy Congroo

@Mastodon Do you have open record of funding and compensation for employees as a non profit?

Michael Roth

@Mastodon

I think Mastodon shouldn't have paid employees

It should have only volunteers

The site's expenditures should be paid for by donations only

(like Wikipedia)

It should concentrate on simplicity

(Like actually Twitter does)

Then it could grow to actually become a "humane" challenger to Musk's profit-oriented App

... right now Mastodon is too complicated, and therefore stays small

@Mastodon will there be a translation tool for the toots? or maybe additional plugins for it?

@Mastodon Interesting how you keep hiring technical people but don't have a single ethics person.

@Mastodon
Clearly an anti-competitive action.

Anyone pursuing this in court or with regulators anywhere in the world?

@Mastodon what's the status on porting profiles to new servers? Refollowing people is a bit of a pain to do one by one.

For_the_Joy_of_It

@Mastodon Is there a current project working to translate posts from popular non-English languages?

DELETED

👋 Hey there, @Mastodon! Just a nifty suggestion, it'd be great if we get the option to see fewer Reblogs from the people we follow. That would remove a considerable chunk of ‘unwanted’ content popping up in our feeds. ✌️

Other than that, I'm having an incredibly great experience here on Mastodon. Keep it up! 👍

✨ A new release candidate for Mastodon 4.0 is now available for testing! We are planning to release the stable on Monday, along with some important security fixes. Stay tuned!

@Mastodon Perhaps someone remembers of a phone call, explaining the idea, the name, the decentral concept, begging to create such a platform

You know to celebrate the mentally il people that believe men can get pregnant and that there are more than two genders (there are only two genders) but I will assume you know faggot stuff more than I do please don’t upset the niggers or goat fuckers’ thanks

@Mastodon Hi, I've received update with version 1.1.1 on 05th of May on my Android phone. Unfortunately it hasn't resolved the biggest issue: the app doesn't load pictures/videos/gifs properly (doesn't load at all or load from different post) very frequently. Could you please investigate about this issue. Thanks
