We just released the second beta of Mastodon 4.3.

This version contains a security fix for an issue present in Mastodon 4.3 beta 1, (moderate severity) so we strongly suggest admins running on our beta versions to update as soon as possible.

We expect this to be the final beta, and to release our Release Candidate next week. Please open GitHub issues if you encounter anything unexpected!

iOS Developer (m/f/d)

We're looking for a full-time remote iOS Developer to work on our official Mastodon iOS app.

^{jobs.ashbyhq.com}

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!

#mastodev #mastodon

We just published our first Trunk & Tidbits post! This will hopefuly be a monthly update where we showcase what we worked on last month, and what's coming next.

I hope this will bring more visibility to all the efforts and love that put on Mastodon
