Hey friends, it's me again 
We have more news to share today, though I must admit, this news is a little less fun.
Recently, the @Mastodon team received a fair number of questions about our trade mark policy. We realised we could add some guidelines to help make the Policy more clear, so over the last few months, we did just that! I'll post a "plain English" version of the guidelines as a comment.
You can read more background about the changes we made, and see the guidelines themselves, in this blog post:
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/sharing-guidelines-about-mastodons-trade-mark-policy/
And the trade mark policy page is updated too:
https://joinmastodon.org/trademark
Today we're sharing additional guidelines about our Trade Mark Policy based on community feedback that we received.
The new guidelines, and more background about these changes, are available on our blog:

# Pachli 3.8.0 is released
This release introduces support for notifications about #collections, improves compatibility with #iceshrimpdotnet servers (by @c, their first contribution to Pachli), fixes a crash, and ensures follower/following relationships are updated if you block a server.
Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?
Context: this is for publishing posts.
# Pachli 3.8.1 is released
This release contains translation updates only, as I get a lot less done working remotely in the middle of a European heatwave. Normal service will resume in September.
Languages with updated translations are:
- Finnish by @kallekn
- Indonesian by Arif Budiman
My thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, and apologies to anyone I missed.
# Pachli 3.9.0 is released
## New features
- Display collection cards in timelines
out of all the myariad amount of features on desktop mastodon why is there not a feature to have a pane of my active polls. #Mastodev
Working on a mastodon python script using mastodon.py today. It's going to emulate what I think channel.org was doing - for each followed account, check every 10 minutes or so and boost any public posts.
Also excluding replies and unlisted posts.
I'll also re-evaluate the account's discovery settings and look for common nobot, etc. tags in pinned posts and profile bios before boosting (at least once per run anyway).
# Pachli 3.10.0 is released
This release introduces an optional warning when boosting posts that are missing captions, improves behaviour when editing posts, allows #Pachli to login to servers protected by Cloudflare, and fixes a display bug on large devices.

📬 Trunk & Tidbits for September 2026 is now out!
Our monthly blog post series is there to showcase what we worked on last month.
A lot happened last month in preparation of our upcoming Mastodon 5.0 release. We also merged an optimisation to account deletion federation (which requires signed fetches for accounts), a few improvements to the moderation panel and to our FASP integration.
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2026/
I wrote a little bit about using Apple’s new “container machine” virtualization tool (basically their version of WSL) to run a local Mastodon development server on #macOS

#Smithereen 1.1 is out!
In this update:
- Full-text search on walls, in group discussion boards, and in private messages
- Mastodon-like fetching of all comments for remote posts when you open them
- Moderation improvements: better domain blocks, bulk actions on users
- Support for making posts from external share buttons (FEP-3b86)
- As usual, way too many minor improvements and bug fixes
Mastodon.py 2.3 is out with a lot of fixes and some new features, and since I've resolved that I need to write more, you get a whole post about what's new and improved instead of just a brief "here changelog":
