Eugen RochkoI'm excited for the next major release of Mastodon (4.2) that's coming soon. Half a year of UX improvements (that of course mastodon.social users are already benefiting from). More details to follow.
YoYunix@Gargron can’t wait!
Jan van den Berg@Gargron j/k scroll support? 🤞🙈
sonicJazzMonkey@Gargron hopefully there'll be some new features.
Sarah Perez 💙@Gargron more details now pls 🙏 😅

maybeanerd@Gargron Isn't 4.2 a minor release? 😳
Alexey Skobkin@maybeanerd @Gargron
Yeah. It's popular and very useful for developers.
But if may somewhat frighten the users.
Although Chrome and Firefox are not suffering much from that.

Marc Etienne@maybeanerd @Gargron if semantic versioning is in play, it's minor only in the sense of "no breaking changes".
I can't say if this is the case, but I suspect it is. And would happy if I were right.
Erik Uden 🚩@Gargron how does Oppenheimer or Barbie play into this update?
Cyber Yuki@Gargron
Is there any improvement or known issue about letting new user fill their profile BEFORE suggesting them to follow someone from the recommended list?
A lot of users are following recommended users and not getting followed back because of empty profile.
StarkWhy do mastodon.social users already have access to the features? Do they use it as a testing environment?

@Gargron I've got an ALT text issue, that long texts are covering the photos in the nativeapp on Windows. I hope this will be adressed.
@Ruhrnalist We don’t have a native app for Windows so you’ll need to contact the developer
Simplistic Trance‐Like Getaway@Gargron I’m excited too! This app really brings me so much peace and I enjoy being on here to share my thoughts and feelings towards others who understand. Especially my adventures that I try to show everyone.
Tharindu@Gargron username capitalisation? 🤞

@Gargron Groups? Circles? More mod tools?
LeisureguyThat's such good news! I am hoping that the new version will no longer place a series of small barriers in the way of entering alt text but make alt text at last the default when images are entered.
The current interface shows a bias against entering alt text because it requires that the user:
1. knows about alt text;
2. knows the required step to enter it; and
3. remembers to take that step.
It will be so much easier (and less biased) when entering alt text is the default.
John Watson 🇺🇸🇨🇦@Gargron Any chance we’ll see a web version capable of following my device’s automatic light-dark settings?

@Gargron I haven't got around to update to 4.1.4 yet. That's awesome.

Petr Nuska@Gargron hashtags-based custom list (my top one missed feature)? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20715
Gabbie Harris@Gargron I’m excited!!💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Three or four big questions:
- How well will it support group posts from Lemmy, Kbin, etc.?
- Will there be support for local searches if the administrator enables it?
- Will there be support to transfer posts from one instance to another, or from a backup of another instance?
- And will it properly backfill old posts from recently followed users?

ednl 🇪🇺@Gargron Will it fix inaccessibility of alt text in the web interface on touch devices? Can't tap "ALT" because it will open the image. (This is probably not an accessibility issue, I mean for vision impaired people, because they won't use the interface this way. I am not impaired, I just want to see the alt text sometimes.)
@Gargron
I wish they get rid of the ugly text area on the right(desktop version
), I do really hate it.
move the posts(tweet) to the right instead.
and also one thing bother me the most no comment icon,
I wish they add one when you click it -> show the comment,
instead click on the post

Super. Lime.
@Gargron Looks like I joined at just the right time when formatting is getting added 🤩
Abhimanyu Aryan@Gargron the new android app already feels great
EINGFOAN 
@Gargron Details! Details! Details!
Ethan@Gargron looking forward to 4.2 release 🤓
Sibachian@Gargron and Groups, will there be Groups?
Nick@Gargron Looking forward the the release that comes after Mastodon 4.2, which will explain the question that Mastodon 4.2 answers.
M8_d@Gargron is that possible when user login they can just use account name or user name, not only email? This for security and privacy reason as well, thank you
Martin Kostera@Eugen Rochko This is still not solved, I suppose.
