Satan

Just a PSA.

Mastodon v4 goes online on Monday.

Many server/instance admins will be updating.

I've ran through the process with the latest RC yesterday on my testbed and it all went well, but, like any update these things are prone to hiccups.

Keep that in mind if your server seems to go offline briefly, the admins will be trying their best

@satan who knew Satan could be so helpfully informative πŸ˜‰ There’s a GitHub something that also helps you unravel your downloaded blue bird history, I read the other day.

@satan do you have a link where you went through the update?
Show threadCazDoesPoliticsNov 12, 2022
@satan Is there much difference in the user end of the new version?

@cazdoespolitics @satan
I would expect some significant changes/additions, given it is a full version release (e.g., from 3.x to 4). I did see a post say that following hashtags would be an option in this version (which is something I would pick up on). But keep in mind that not all Instances will necessarily update at the same time (on the same day, week, or at all). Perhaps others will step in with more details…

@cazdoespolitics @satan Things look a bit different, for better or worse, but there’s also:

- users can edit posts
- users can follow hashtags
- the β€œToot” button says β€œPublish”

@satan

Will the #Android and #iOS apps automatically reflect the new functionality in #Mastodon V4.0 or will they themselves need updating too?

I'm terrified of breaking it!!!

@satan the two stage deploy is the only part worrying me. I deploy using dokku so I need to ensure I set the env variable, then deploy from the docker image and then run a command and then remove the env var.

I guess you turning up on my feed, means it's true that you can't escape the devil! By rights, you'd still be on the other side! 😳
