API "POST filter" was broken with previous rc. If people can tell us if it works now with the rc3?

4.0? A new release? WOW

☝️

montag, kinder, wirds was geben 🎶
🥳 🥰 😎

@Mastodon I have a great feature request.

✅ Disable "Publish" button, if post contains images without description

I am guilty of publishing inaccessible posts. What do you think @deadparrot ?

@pawelgrzybek @Mastodon @deadparrot
I'd like to have that as an optional setting 👍
@Mastodon
kurze frage von einem technisch nicht so versierten user:
beim Web-Client muss ich hier darauf achten das die neue version läuft? und passiert das nach release automatisch oder muss man da was machen
@fenriswitch @Mastodon es ist für die Administratoren des Server die Upgrades zu laufen - tu musst nichts tun. :)
@fenriswitch Die Angabe in deinem Screenshot verrät dir die aktuelle Version deiner Mastodoninstanz. Einfluss darauf hat nur dein Administrator, z.B. indem er das neue Release als Update einspielt. Du als Nutzer musst (kannst) also nichts tun. Der Webclient ist Teil der Serversoftware.

@moji
danke an alle die geantwortet haben...
ich hoffe mit meinen schusselfragen kann ich vlt auch einigen unserer #neuhier ein bisschen helfen sich hier einzufuxen wie es läuft

(schliesse mich bei den #Newbies nicht aus; fühle mich nach gut 2 Woche selbst noch #neuhier)

@fenriswitch
Die Software updatet der Admin/Betreiber der Instanz. Einfach zurück lehnen 😊
@Mastodon

@fenriswitch @Mastodon Wenn Deine Instanz, also in Deinem Fall mastodon.social, auf Mastodon 4.0 aktualisiert, dann ist auch Dein Web Client aktualisiert.

Wenn Du mehrere Accounts auf verschiedenen Instanzen hast, kommt es auf die jeweilige Version der Instanz an, auf der Du unterwegs bist.

@Mastodon congratulations ☝️👏👏
@Mastodon Updated! Working nicely :D

@Mastodon

Just checked on mastodon.social... v4.0.0rc1 still has the reported issue regarding non-scrollable left and right columns (if screen resolution isn't matching), so that users can't access the full page / all information.

Is this fixed with 4.0 RC3?

@Mastodon Updated without issues!
@Mastodon @nico @miyuru The upgrade to 4.0 on Monday (or so) should fix all known IPv6 connectivity issues 🎉
@Mastodon I hope we'll see that soon on @mastohost 

@Nasher I only install stable release on Masto.host unless there is some problem.

Only when Mastodon make v4.0 a stable release will I start to test it and all going well 24 to 48 later, you will have it installed.

@mastohost I perfectly understand it's safer not to play with "testing" branches and release candidates in an infrastructure with the size of yours.
@Mastodon Awesome! Is there any spare spot for testing the app on iOS TestFlight? 🤔
@Mastodon It's been waiting for you.
@Mastodon
Make it compatible with iso iPhone 6 Its a nuisance uave to buy a new phone for updates Thanks.
@Mastodon stable on monday??!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@Mastodon thanks mastodon for stay in the fediverse whit us.
@Mastodon So far, so good. Happy to see the media retention settings on the new release.

@Mastodon Bravo! Congrats!   
@Mastodon I need Bookmarks for iOS!
@Mastodon Oh this is for all instances? I was beginning to think this was about an app. 🤐
@Mastodon how do I, as just a #mastodon user, get this new version?
@DoctorDNS @Mastodon you’ll need to wait for the server admin to update to the new version. I expect they’ll wait until the official release on Monday.
@DoctorDNS @Mastodon As a user, you wouldn't have to do anything! You'd want to wait until the person who runs masto.ai updates the Mastodon server on their end. :) Then it goes to everyone!
@DoctorDNS @Mastodon Your instance needs to install it on the server. Ask your admin
@raphaelm @Mastodon
That is what I thouight but wanted to check!!
@DoctorDNS The admin of the instance you are on decides when to install a new Mastodon version on the server. Then you automatically use the new version.
@Mastodon just joined and published my new MD address on Facebook.
Fb prohibited the content and has completely frozen.
Wtf?

#Newbie

I ran out of storage ... cuz , I've added 10+ relays 🙂 .. Actually I didn't know that 😅 Mastodon Caches media from these relays ..... How can I remove all media cache ?

@Mastodon Nice to hear! Is there ever a chanche of seeing it in F-Droid? 
@Mastodon We can't choose local trends.
