By now, all eleven of my country ๐Ÿš‚ #train diagrams have been updated for 2026! Represented are: ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ I really enjoy updating the diagrams; however, I'm also glad when I've finished. I have become quicker, but it still takes a lot of effort. I hope they help you plan your spring, summer or autumn holiday tour through central or northern ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #Europe or whatever you need them for. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I don't make a big deal about it, but one of the reasons I donated to Mastodon is to improve the UI, and the stellar work of @imanijoy is a direct result ๐Ÿคฉ https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116302074492502983

"Weโ€™re focused on user privacy, and this means that we have very limited analytics to inform decisions. We also believe in community-driven design, and we want to be transparent about our thinking as we build new features. Our small team is counting on the insights from your experiences as you create, use, and test Collections!"

Kudos to the Mastodon team for listening to feedback and constructive criticism!

And a reminder to everyone to please be respectful. These are real people doing their best to create something for the rest of us to enjoy.

Designing Collections

A new way to share and discover accounts on Mastodon

Mastodon Blog

In a new blog post, @imanijoy provides a deeper dive into the design process for Collections, and explains what weโ€™ve included (and things that are left out) for the first release. Weโ€™ll be enabling this feature on mastodon.social next week, and rolling it out more widely in Mastodon 4.6 very soon. Weโ€™re excited to hear what you think!

This came to me in a dream.

We're hiring for a part-time position in Finance & Operations at @Mastodon. Fluent German and English language skills are a requirement. In terms of location it's a hybrid role so we're looking for candidates in #berlin or #vienna. I believe this is a rare opportunity to learn about the organisational side of technology non-profits and open source.

Nice to see a Mastodon shout-out on The Daily Show last night, thanks to @eff Executive Director Cindy Cohn!

It's a longer segment, with some interesting nuance around social media and censorship later in the conversation.

this one has been a lot of fun to work on, and i'm proud with how it's looking 

@phillycodehound Same sequence of weather in Vienna. On the rainy day I caught myself thinking "I actually like rain". I do work in my home office so this may of course be different for people commuting in the morning. Am I weird to like rainy weather (sometimes)? :)
