It's release day! #Mastodon 4.2 will drop later today. I'm very excited for all the improvements we've been working on since January to become available to all server operators and their users.

@Gargron Hello Eugen & team; congratulations on this v4.2 Stable milestone. 🎉

Rather than users needing to petition individual Instance Admins & Mods for this, would it be possible pls for you to add these into the default Masto s/w config, so that it automatically becomes available fediverse-wide? 🤷‍♀️

Expand the #emojis available in the compose-toots emoji-picker tool, by adding these commonplace #FOSS #Linux ones [which are available in at least some #Instances ]:



:xfce:
:openSUSE:






:vivaldi_snapshot:

Note that my current Instance already has  , but IMO that should also be added to the preceding fediverse-wide list to cover individual Instances not already having it.

Thank you 🤞

@MsDropbear84 @Gargron @shlee @AusSocialMods Added most of them for you

@aussocialadmin @Gargron @shlee @AusSocialMods Oh how nice, thanks very much 🤗 💜

Iirc now, it's possible that i might have slightly erred with at least some of those you couldn't do, eg, maybe these variants instead?

:vivaldi_snapshot: = :vivaldi_gray: ?
:openSUSE: = ​ ?

That's how those three are in tech.lgbt, fwiw.
