A new Activity tab has a dropdown menu for filtering different views of information (posts, boosts, replies) so you can find the information you're interested in.

We've reworked featured hashtags, pinned posts, and custom fields to make the most important details more easily discoverable, and make better use of vertical space.

Profile editing is now a unified experience, with everything in a single view. You can also now add alt text for profile and cover photos.

There's much more to discover! Read the blog post for more information, and let us know what you think.

These updates will start to appear on mastodon.social and other servers running nightly builds from today, and will be available to everyone in Mastodon 4.6, coming in a few weeks.

@imanijoy same for polls, please! I've seen others doing this already (with Mastodon, not other softwares), but probably they used a certain Mastodon app to do this.

Good to hear! I have been noticing the lack of this feature more and more so here's hoping...! 🤞
