Mastodon Engineering

We just released Mastodon 4.3.1!

It contains some bug fixes and a few small features, like (optional) grouping of follow notifications and improvements the fediverse:creator setup instructions.

Upgrading requires re-compiling frontend assets (if not using Docker), instructions are in the release notes : github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r

@MastodonEngineering why do you not need to change the version in docker-compose.yml? and how do you restart the docker correctly?

@MastodonEngineering
could you add an option to make columns narrower again in advanced layout (like before 4.3)?
Since that update it doesn't fit on my laptop screen anymore (I have one additional column besides the standard ones, with a pinned hashtag)

@MastodonEngineering
Also would be cool if the position of the column where a clicked toot with its replies is opened could be configured instead of always being on the very right (I think I'd prefer it to be between Home and Notifications).
I wish I could just move it around like the Home or Notifications column

@MastodonEngineering It is advisable to show the number of clicks and views for each article, which will give the author a lot of encouragement. It can also make more creators willing to stay on this platform.

@MastodonEngineering I’m New to mastodon still. Is there a way I can throttle my feeds? Some people I follow and topics I am interested in .. I really do want to follow them, and/or I have interest in them, but they drown out everyone else.
This might be particularly acute for newer users. So I think it might already be a problem you folks investigated, and I’m just missing the solution :)

@robbiemu You can create a list with those people, and set "hide these people from home” in the list settings. This way, you will have their content only in the list timeline, not in your home feed

@MastodonEngineering Is it possible that there is no step-by-step procedure to upgrade from 4.2.13 or install 4.3.0 on ubuntu? I'm talking about a beginner's guide, without taking any steps for granted, otherwise I'll never learn 😭 . Thank you.

@MastodonEngineering
Need some help. Somehow I did something wrong and now I can't see my posts, replies, pinned posts, lists of followers that used to appear when I clicked on my profile. I remain clueless.
