Some nice updates coming to Mastodon profiles!
"We want people who are new to Mastodon and the Fediverse to be able to discover and connect with interesting accounts, without having to understand the details of decentralisation."
Already available on mastodon.social, and other servers running the latest code.

Side by side comparison. I particularly like the more compact design of custom fields.
@stefan My verdict currently:
Compactness 👍
Logic changes and toggles 👎
I've been preferring the "show all at once with the least clicks" approach on my UI. I really don't know what was wrong with the old sidebar hashtag approach.
@rolle Yeah, my first thought was that this is trying to do too much, but I will have to spend more time playing with this to fully form an opinion.
I do get what they're trying to do here.
