TIL there's bulk edit for notification requests https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31457
Personally, I'm not a fan of bulk edit UI's 😩

Nice quality of life improvement added to the latest #Mastodon code: account cards on hover!
A perfect companion to the upcoming grouped notifications 😃
We need to tune the behaviour a bit, but I am already missing them when using another instance.
All of this will be in 4.3, which we plan to release soon!
We deployed the grouped notifications experimental feature on mastodon.online and mastodon.social, and are looking for some initial testers to gather performance information and ensure it works properly.
This feature is only available in the web UI for now (see 2nd screenshot)
There are some known issues (around keyboard navigation) and the API is not yet final.
Please open a Github issue if you find any problem with them, so we can fix it before the 4.3-beta1 release!
Small update on #PhanpySocialDev and those on *upcoming* Mastodon v4.3+: new V2 settings for filtered notifications.

Mastodon Web UI obviously has *way more* explanatory copy for every filter choice and what happens etc.
We are happy to announce the first beta release of Mastodon 4.3 🎉 11 months in the works, it is chock-full of improvements, the most prominent being notification grouping and new filtering capabilities, as well as extensive usability overhauls.
Please note that this is a beta, and the stable release is still to come. If you are upgrading your server to it, read the changelog carefully, and open GitHub issues if you encounter anything unexpected.

Take note that this new (server-side) grouped notifications is available for testing on production site (https://phanpy.social/) if your instance is running on 4.3 beta. It's opt-in via Settings → Server-side grouped notifications. https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/113035111777363807
👀 Very interesting post visibility comparison table by Stefano, on this code review for adding Akkoma/Pleroma's Local-only posting on Phanpy https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull/657#discussion_r1745903955
Our August engineering blog post is out - read about the first beta of 4.3, what's coming next, and what the community has been sharing!

We are looking for feedback on our new grouped notifications API from Mastodon client developers.
All the details about this API are available at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/31618
We intend to mark this API as stable in our next 4.3 beta release, so if you are a client developer now is the time to have a look at it and tell us what you think!
