Nice quality of life improvement added to the latest #Mastodon code: account cards on hover!
A perfect companion to the upcoming grouped notifications š
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!
If a post contains a filtered quote post, should it be filtered? š¤
Options: (choose one)
Small update on #PhanpySocialDev and those on *upcoming* Mastodon v4.3+: new V2 settings for filtered notifications.
References:
API: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31343
Web UI: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31342
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 š 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.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.0-beta.1
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 ā Server-side grouped notifications. https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/113035111777363807
š 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

#TIL "Mark media as sensitive" (separate option from CW but actually does same thing) is removed from upcoming Mastodon v4.3's composer š¤ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29882
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!
Our September engineering blog post is out. Read about our recent releases, what we did last month, our progress on the Fediscovery project and what's coming next !

Will observe the other apps, when they'll update the copy for post visibility options.
- Unlisted ā Quiet Public
- Followers only ā Followers
- Mentioned people only ā Specific people
So far, I only see Mona using "Quiet Public" https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/112071331585947439
Random thought: if I bookmark a post from an account that enables "Automatically delete old posts", will it be deleted from my bookmarks list too?
Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?
Context: this is for publishing posts.
Just peeked over at #bluesky and noticed they have both "Starter Packs" of people to follow and "Lists" of curated posts. Seems like a great way to build community (assuming they are implemented well)
Does this exist w/in the #fediverse ?
#mastodev #UX
Today, I learned that PyScript is a thing, and that you can use it to run Mastodon.py entirely in your browser and build anything from a small basic tool to an entire client, using Python, that runs in the browser!

#Smithereen 0.9 is out!
Photo albums are, of course, the headline feature of this release. In addition to that, there's the groups newsfeed and redesigned mobile profiles.
Also, Smithereen is now available on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/grishkaa/smithereen
Scheduled posts API on Mastodon seems a bit rough.
1. Post payload is a bit different than published posts (ScheduledStatus https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/ScheduledStatus/#example vs Status https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#example)
2. There's API to reschedule & delete but no edit https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/scheduled_statuses/
Looking back at the initial PR (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/9706): "The scheduled date must be at least 5 minutes into the future. At most, 300 toots can be scheduled at the same time. Only 50 toots can be scheduled for any given day."
Has anyone put together a curated list of #fediverse servers (preferably open source or at least with a public API) that:
- want to be found by the general public (Iām looking for a source of recommendations for a server picker in a client app)
- meet at least some reasonable minimum moderation/reliability standards?
I know #mastodon has joinmastodon.org/servers and pixelfed also has their own curated server list, but is there anything that isnāt software-specific?
Took me a while to debug this on Phanpy's Catch-up, date range is wrong, the squares are all group into a single tall bar š
Turns out one of the posts isā¦ āØin the futureāØ (2026). This: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18666/nodebb-4.1.0 (Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@julian@community.nodebb.org/114077199430551343)
Anyone knows why/how this happens? š
#Pachli 2.10.1 has been released. This fixes the issue that could cause Pachli to crash if you had ever signed in with multiple accounts, ensures "Show anyway" works on filtered posts in all timelines, and shows all available languages in Android's system settings.
Thanks to @tinsuke, @Russssty, @kallekn, @alkaf, AindriĆŗ Mac Giolla Eoin, and @LukaszHorodecki.

A collection of silly Mastodon apps (the best kind). It includes a Fax-To-Mastodon app.
