Please note that this is a beta, and the stable release is still to come. If you are upgrading your server to it, read the changelog carefully, and open GitHub issues if you encounter anything unexpected.

You mean this?

Show threadAlexTECPlayzAug 24, 2024

@Deus No. These are grouped notifications:

@alextecplayz That's more confusing.
Show threadAlexTECPlayzAug 24, 2024
@Deus How so? It groups the users that liked a post into one notification, instead of 100.
Show threadDeusAug 24, 2024
@alextecplayz How are you going to figure out 'who' reacted to your post? Another click to expand and see? I don't mind the endless scrolling TBH. Granted it could be different for those who get 1000+ reactions. But then, such users hardly don't need (or bother) to check it anyways.

Oh, I thought it was something about installing and documentation or something, and Renaud said what you were after would be coming with 4.3.

@SmartmanApps Oh yeah it was the journo bylines! https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/2/24191049/mastodon-built-in-bylines-journalists-fediverse
Mastodon rolls out built-in bylines for journalists in the fediverse

Mastodon is rolling out a new feature that surfaces an authorโ€™s byline beneath an article that they wrote. The byline will link directly to the authorโ€™s fediverse profile.
