We chose not to add an image for quote posts because you cannot create and post them in Mastodon yet, and the number of other Fediverse servers that implement the relevant FEP is limited, so it would be over promising what you’ll see in 4.4 - the full feature is set for 4.5.

The plan is to fully implement this by Mastodon 4.5 later in the year.

That is the plan, you can see more in our previous blog post.

Mastodon 4.4 (blog.joinmastodon.org)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by andypiper@lemmy.world to c/mastodon@lemmy.world
 

We’re excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.

Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.

We hope you’ll enjoy the enhancements in Mastodon 4.4, and we’re grateful for your support and feedback.

I moved from Evernote to Joplin a number of years ago, and now self-host the Joplin server and use Joplin on all of my devices. Great app. I'm afraid I can't help with the migration from that to something else, though!

Personally I use third party apps like Sill, Fediview and Murmel and Phanpy which all have versions of algorithmic timelines for catchup. Whether something of this kind of built in to Mastodon in future is still open for discussion, but I’m not aware of a plan to spend time on it in the next couple of releases at least.

The upcoming 4.4 release has a generator based on a template, which was this one. We will look into whether we need to put that feature on hold from the 4.4 release while we work through this, however, yes the idea is that there would be a template set of terms that any instance could customise and adopt.

Perhaps not, perhaps so, but we do have other folks offering support and we will do what we can to get to a better situation here.

Legal stuff is complicated and we're not all, always, experts at everything. FWIW https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821

OK, you just wanted to be off-topic abusive, got it, thanks for calling yourself out.

No, we did not (nor did we use any other AI tool).

Mastodon comms person here. We're discussing how we go forward. The questions being asked are all absolutely reasonable, and we want to do what we can to improve the terms (that we do need to have in place) taking into account the feedback and offers of support.

 

I posted a (made later) recording of my talk from the Social Web After Hours event at FOSDEM 2025, for those unable to attend.

 

The beta for the next major Mastodon release is now available for testing.

 

Hey all - Johannes Ernst and I are going to get the Fedidevs meetups going again, starting next Thursday March 7.

Main topic: FediTest early show-and-tell and ask for feedback. More details: https://fedidevs.org/notes/2024-03-07/

Have topics for future meetups? Bring them on!

 

Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.
