Okay!!! I think we're good now.

We just underwent two updates! First, a massive update to Hometown v1.2.0 (Mastodon 4.5.6). Then, an itty bitty lil security update to Hometown v1.2.0 (Mastodon 4.5.7).

That should conclude the downtime. Thanks for your patience!

hmm. theres problems. but maybe they are now fixed???
Yikes! Sorry for the long downtime. We're back for the moment. Might be a bit more downtime but it should be short. Let me know if anything's not working right.

Attention labyrinthians! We will soon be upgrading to the new release of Hometown.

The main thing users need to know is that it implements the features of Mastodon 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5. See the Mastodon release announcements for more info:

Mastodon 4.3 https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/

Mastodon 4.4 https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/mastodon-4.4/

Mastodon 4.5 https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/mastodon-4.5/

Probably the biggest deal is quote posting.

Not sure when I will apply the update. There'll be a little downtime I think. I will keep you posted.

Mastodon 4.3

Grouped notifications, notification filtering, better onboarding and a refreshed look await in this new release of our decentralized open-source social media software.

Just wanted to surface this long comment from me on the state of #Hometown and its future:

I've been an absentee on the "Future of Hometown" thread for a year now and plan to be more responsive. I say more about it in the post itself.

Attn labyrinthians: the new release of mastodon has two big new features: quote posts and reply federation (so there won’t be “missing” replies under posts anymore). In case you are wondering: Hometown isnt updates with these features yet and I don’t know when it will be! (@darius, any idea what we should expect in that regard?)
