GitHub
@Mastodon waiting for the docker images 😇
@r3pek @Mastodon I was too impatient so I built them myself^^
@r3pek @Mastodon so true. It should be made much easier for anyone to host its own instance on a cheap VPS. That will enhance privacy and reduce the load on public instances.

@lox it's actually really easy with docker/k8s...

@Mastodon

@lox @r3pek @Mastodon That's a good point, it should be much easier to install as well.
@Mastodon Yes 🥳 Will soon update my instance 😀
@Mastodon Good news, now we have to wait for Instances to update I guess?
@t3kk @Mastodon yep, it's up to each instance to keep up with releases.
@Mastodon thank you so much, upgrade from 4.0.0rc3 took less than a minute, we're now already on 4.0.0! 😃
@gbevin @Mastodon is there some guide for the 4.0.0 rc3 to 4.0.0?
@pls @Mastodon Upgrading from v4.0.0rc3 requires a code update, assets precompilation, and a web process reload/restart.
@Mastodon ich nehme an @chm ist bereits am updaten.
@Mastodon Great! How does this roll out? Do instance admins update the instances?

@Mastodon

Seriously?!? An hour ago I thought I did something wrong, because I was looking for the 4 stable release and the couldn’t find it. Thank you for your work and the release.

@Mastodon Cool, but github says tests are failing for the specific commit you designated as the 4.0.0 version
@Mastodon @talon @app Mastodon 4.0 just released.
@kev we don't run Mastodon, so we'll have to wait until our fork, Hometown, gets the update.
@Mastodon @moderation wann können wir mit dem Update auf unserer Instanz rechnen?
@Mastodon
Tonight is upgrade night 🙂💪
@Mastodon Congrats on the milestone! Looking forward to the improvements!

@Mastodon Sorry for my stupid question... But is this about the Mastodon app?
I am still searching for an app that let's me read my teamline where I left the app.
Even on Tusky, which I use now, when I click the 'load more' - button, it jumps to the latest toots, instead of just adding the toots above where I was reading.

I hope I could explain my problem well and that someone can help me.

How do y'all keep up with new roots in your timeline?!?

@FennaS @Mastodon

the release is about the instance software

and about the app, I suggest subway tooter

@FennaS @Mastodon the apps I use on iOS do t have this issue @tootapp and #Metatext, but I am not sure about android

@Troll
