Again, this is available on the web version of mastodon.social. Your server or client might not have this feature yet.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews why are you saying ‘available on mastodon.social’ when you could say ‘available on mastodon servers running version 4.1.2’?

You make it sound like we should all move to mastodon.social if we want these nice new features, that can’t be your intention, right?

@koen @atomicpoet @[email protected] No, mastodon.social is currently running a nightly version with the latest features, that as far as I know, aren't in 4.1.2
@koen @atomicpoet @[email protected] The Mastodon instance that I have an account runs 4.1.2, and doesn't have it
@koen @atomicpoet @fediversenews
There is something wrong with the versioning actually. Don't see that feature on cyberplace.social for instance, which is running 4.1.2

@ericfreyss
Mastodon.social and mastodon.online are running a nightly of 4.2.

These new features aren't available on 4.1.x

@koen

@atomicpoet @koen I cannot speak for himself but I believe that he mentions mastodon.social because he knows for sure that new features are implemented.

That means that there might be other instances that rapidly adapt new features but you could never know

@gdiak @atomicpoet @koen Well… it may also be over on

http://mastodon.online/

, since it is a ‘sister’ instance to the other one.

@gdiak @atomicpoet @fediversenews do I understand it right that mastodon.social is running a ‘non released’ version of the mastodon software?

Is there any official communication about that? Especially about why they would want to do that?

@koen @atomicpoet I'm running 4.1.2 and this feature isn't available to me yet. I assume that mastodon.social is running a development version and we other instance admins will get this with the 4.1.3 release of software.

@koen they are running last develop updates there but version keep saying v4.1.2.
Any admin who would like to test those new features can change to develop main branch at anytime and enjoy them.
