@dlr have you found any other apps/sites that you like on the fediverse more than Mastodon?

I can suggest a feature that may benefit you or the projects you associate with even if you are not actively using ie. Mastodon.

The feature is called "Author Tags" (introduced in Mastodon v. 4.3)

I got 2 attachments showing difference with and without...

Setting Up Mastodon Author Tags

How to setup your website so you too can have a fancy author tag when your posts are shared

Unser #Mastodon Server ist jetzt auch auf 4.3.1 aktualisiert. #mastodon43

Upgrade to #Mastodon via #Mastodon43 (ref blog link) may suit some users. I find it clunky and new condensed display of notifications of boosts annoys me. I can't tell at a glance what's been boosted and have to click on each to get post to expand.

I am I the only one feeling this?

I'm also not certain I want Mastodon to add Quote Posts. They seem to enable misue altho that could be true of any social media interactions.

Mastodon 4.3

Grouped notifications, notification filtering, better onboarding and a refreshed look await in this new release of our decentralized open-source social media software.

Oh look! I found another reason to dislike the Mastodon 4.3 interface.

@frozencanuck I wasn't seeing it, at least on my own posts. It was driving me a bit batty - the documentation made no mention of any special syntax for this.
I found out that it just takes a bit of extra spacing. I've generally just put extra hashtags at the end of the last line of the post. Seems you need to put an empty line before the hashtags, then you will see that nifty button formatting.

I've just noticed another good thing about the "click to see Alt text on desktop" in #mastodon43 ... the text in that version is the same as normal post text, whereas the mouse over version is slightly smaller and more difficult to read (say my 52 year old, with creeping presbyopia, eyes).
@christianp it seems that https://mathstodon.xyz/home/ is gone in the web interface? After the upgrade to 4.3 it's forwarded to desk/... with many useless columns (on a desktop/laptop).
Any plans to fix this? Or perhaps there is another way to get what home/ was providing?

A Mastodon instance for maths people. We have LaTeX rendering in the web interface!

Gloups 😮 😕 Mais non.
Qu'est-ce que ça devient, Masto ? Choqué. Puis triste.

Well, Mastodon 4.3 landed on my instance and suddenly I am Old Man Yells at Stupid New CSS. It's not as if Mastodon's web interface has ever been well, comprehensible, but they've really doubled down on poor legibility and inelegance, and solved zero problems that I can detect.

And, of course, none of the most problematic new things are tweakable.
