@u0421793 @cryptids very nice to see more frontends doing this
some do it, but in my opinion it should be a lot more standard for this to be the case

Is there any way on Mastodon to automatically filter out image posts with no alt text?

Edit: think I've got my answer- thanks y'all!

Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!
I really missed this - getting feedback on fedi software and collectively finding ways to make it work better for whomever uses it! I loved it on Firefish, and I love it even more now with Catodon, where I have total freedom to change things. It obviously doesn't have the same impact as Firefish (yet? 😼), but Calckey/Firefish took several months to take off - in the first couple of months very few people noticed it. Even if it's for ten people though, to me it's still a magic thing. Thank you for sharing this with me =)

Release notes:

- Based on Sharkey 2025.4.6
- A new, rounder look!
- You can follow hashtags and words in you Home timeline, by adding Custom feeds (Antennas) to Home
- You can integrate GIF search for your users through Klipy
- Improved notifications: Added a "mark all as read" button to the Notifications widget, there is a highlighted divider between new and old notifications, and they are marked read easier when you view them, so that you no longer need to use the "mark all as read" button as much. You can also see a list of who reacted in grouped reaction notifications
- Threads in timelines (imported from Firefish), greatly decluttering timelines for longer threads
- Users now have the choice to link to external media (including GIFs) without permanently saving them to their Storage, using a new dedicated cache - allows admins to provide less permanent storage space per user, keeping server resources under control
- There is a global, admin-definable cap to the cache for remote files, so that you no longer need to manually delete it regularly
- Different/simpler terminology so that new users can understand what everything means more easily
- Decluttered buttons under posts: Like/Reaction (merged), Reply, Repost/Quote (merged)
- Deprecated/removed from the frontend the gamifying or local only/not widely used features: Channels, Achievements, Gallery, Clips, Games, Chat, Play
- Redesigned left sidebar. Much fewer items in the Navigation Bar, which now expands/collapses with a button. The profile picture now acts as a direct link to your profile, as it's separated from the account menu that sits under it
- Fewer timelines, no hardcoded links in the header menu - everything is a timeline
- "Accounts timeline" based on the "Following" page, but upgraded to a timeline with columns scrolling independently and a search bar
- The local timeline now takes the server's short name, adding a unique touch to your community
- Custom feeds and Lists are in their own dedicated timeline
- More filters in timelines and Lists - you can now view your following accounts' replies to others (or only to accounts you also follow) in Home, choose between Following and Mutual followers, and include the public posts from your server in Home (covering the functionality of the deprecated "Social" timeline)
- Post area is now clickable everywhere, not only over the text area
- You can view all reactions together under a post in detailed post view (added "All" tab). You can also see the total number of replies+subreplies next to the number of direct replies, showing instantly how deep the discussion under a post goes
- Redesigned posting form with buttons in more practical positions - also the collapsed posting form at the top of timelines takes up half the space the old one did
- The posting form autoexpands as you write longer posts - imported from Firefish
- Autocomplete also shows results for names of users - you no longer need to remember the exact username to mention or DM someone
- You can disable sign-in emails by deactivating sign-in notifications
- You can now close the alt text window over images, which can make parts of them hard to see/read, by clicking on it
- Much better key navigation - both with h/j/k/l and arrows. Focus is more often where you expect it to be, so that you can key nav instantly when opening a page. You can also swipe through timelines on desktop with left/right
- Countless bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements!

I hesitate to do this because it could backfire badly and make me wish I hadn’t done it, but, can someone message me using jabber on my address, I’ve had it set up for some time but have never done anything with it or communicated with it so I don’t actually know if it works (or how it works)

Just fixed a Misskey bug that has annoyed me since I came to fedi on 2022, where reposts from users you have blocked appear in your timeline, leaving you wondering why would you see a post from them after a block.
