We’re ready to show you a new feature coming in Mastodon 4.6 - Collections. These are a way for people on Mastodon to curate and share bundles of accounts that they’d recommend to others, to help find connections and grow their network more quickly.

@Mastodon Will accounts from servers that aren't on 4.6 be able to be included in Collections?

If not, I'd be concerned that if this takes off it's going to have the effect of concentrating connections and attention on accounts on bleeding-edge servers.

@maxleibman @Mastodon No, the server the account is on has to support the feature. This is a technical constraint--otherwise no opt-in/out mechanism would be possible. But the network tends to upgrade to new releases pretty quickly.

Wasn't this pretty much the same with quote posts?
