We just released the first beta version of Mastodon 4.6 🎉 Highlights for this release are the profile page redesign and the ability to create curated Collections of Mastodon accounts, but it contains many other changes. You can find all of them in the release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.6.0-beta.1 We aim to publish a release candidate next week. If you are an admin and want to be on the bleeding edge, now is a good time to upgrade to the beta version and help us find any last minute bugs! #mastoadmin

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social Did I miss the bit about making the 500 character posting limit changeable in the admin console?

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social #IPv6 as a first class citizen? Still mastodon.social does not federate and breaks interop promises.

@MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social Please tell me "curated Collections of Mastodon accounts," isn't going to feed #AI into Fedi disintegration...
