We are making good progress with refactoring Instagram Import to support archives of any age.

The reason we had to temporarily disable it is because Instagram has been purposely changing the schema of exports to make it more difficult for us to process.

We are leveraging some clever techniques to determine the schema for every archive, and look forward to shipping this early next week!

Profile Carousels: an easter egg feature that allows you to share a link to your profile with a full screen carousel that automatically transitions between your photos.

We have many cool features like this ✨

@renchap, directeur technique de Mastodon, est non seulement excellent dans son interview mais dit quelque chose de très juste :

> Bluesky ou Threads ont plus profité de la vague que nous, c'est certain. Notre budget annuel doit représenter à peu près le coût d'un ingénieur pour Meta, donc les choses avancent moins vite. C'est une question de moyens, mais […] nous sommes là sur le long terme.

C'est ça que j'affectionne chez Mastodon. Ils/elles avancent. Le réseau se développe, les fonctionnalités arrivent. Pas de changements brutaux et déceptifs pour améliorer la rentabilité, mais un projet, des valeurs, et la communauté au centre.

The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.

Control of our own computing is a prerequisite for freedom.

The internet *is* real life.
