How do I add more of these "profile metadata" fields in my Mastodon profile? (backend editing) is it possible in vanilla Mastodon? not glitch
EDIT Yes! it is! i got it. blog post to follow for documentation's sake.
This was a super easy change. I've blogged about it to be clear:
"Add more profile metadata fields to Mastodon."

If you care about a safe fediverse, I highly reocomend that you give to @iftas - our server has, and I am an advisor there.
The value to IFTAS against spam, organized harassment, and other threats to ourusers cannot be overstated, it is one of the most optimistic signs of the fediverse maturing I've seen. Give at the link below:

We just released Mastodon 4.3.1!
It contains some bug fixes and a few small features, like (optional) grouping of follow notifications and improvements the fediverse:creator setup instructions.
Upgrading requires re-compiling frontend assets (if not using Docker), instructions are in the release notes : https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.1

Ugh!! How do I opt OUT of this and make sure my profile never appears in this little box for anyone else?
I've previously opted out of all #Mastodon features that would promote my profile anywhere—where the hell did this come from and why the hell isn't it #optin? And what is this "personlized suggestion" based on?
#consent #MastoAdmin #MastoDev #privacy
For a Mastodon instance, we're considering using `subdomain.example.com` for the installation, but `example.com` for addresses, so you can look up `someone@example.com` and it Just Works[TM], while the user's profile URL is `subdomain.example.com/@someone`.
This is via masto.host following their docs at https://masto.host/mastodon-usernames-different-from-the-domain-used-for-installation/
Are there any downsides to that kind of config? E.g., does it cause confusing incompatibilities with other fediverse software, or weird UX side effects?

The whole narrative is wrong here. My server is not struggling and will survive as long as I live.

24 hours since the release of Mastodon 4.3 and over 56% of active users have access to the latest bits, from 29% of active servers.
(Statistics combined 4.3.0 final, 4.3.0 release candidate and 4.4.0 which are all technically different but functionally identical at the moment.)
37% of instances are still running older versions outdated versions of the 4.2 branch, 5% remain on 4.1, and 5% are on versions which are no longer supported and may contain known security issues.

We released Mastodon 4.3 today, packed with a lot of awesome features: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/
I want to thank @Claire, @Gargron, @dave for their hard work on the code, as well as @samhenrigold for the design. Also a lot of thanks to our regular contributors, including @matt and @thisismissem
Now let's focus on 4.4! We have a lot of exiting things to work on, we will do our best to release it before September 2025 😅

@renchap Yes, this can be done properly to core via SVG animations. I have been hesitant to do it, because my heart and retweet animations are blatant Twitter ripoffs.
Also, should find a way to do it so that I don't need to double-do the work to the UI of my own.
Might as well do some draft during my holiday... added a task to my personal backlog.
The most frustrating things to get right via CSS only are the micro animations. Because I cannot do them using any files, I have to kinda faux-replace them via CSS by using pseudos, base64 and hacks and animating those. Also because the element size will change depending whether it has a number or not, it's difficult to keep it in place.
This is why I have disabled the boost animation for now. The heart and star animations are staying in place, because they either have less numbers on instances that have numbers or no number at all.

I am having masto.nyc limit-block every server that I see spreading the current spam-wave.
One thing we all learned in February is that every server that allows this is either misconfigured, undermoderated, or a “ghost ship” server that an enthusiastic hobbyist launched in November 2022 and then forgot about.
Some of them will fix their stuff and we’ll let ‘em back in, but until that happens, they're all poor fediverse neighbors, even if unintentionally. #mastoadmin

Reminder for Mastodon admins that if you are active in moderation, you probably also want to enable "Require authentication from federated servers" under Administration > Server Settings > Discovery
If not enabled, then suspended instances will still see posts from your instance and be able to have their own little horrible conversations in the comments that you don't know about.
You can confirm this by going to a suspended instance and searching for your profile.
Now that masto.nyc has been migrated to Digital Ocean I feel like I can show you what it USED to run on. These are 3 ebay desktops that I bought maxed out their RAM and threw a new, small, SSD into. They ran Ubuntu server and actually were really solid as k8s nodes!
I had to enable "auto-on on shutdown" because, for a long while, Con Edison outages meant masto.nyc went down until I came back home.
After the migration I can finally power down clean it up😬

We just released Mastodon 4.2.13 and 4.1.20. They contain a few bug fixes, a security fix (high severity, only impacting Ruby <= 3.2) and a critical security in a dependency is you use SAML authentication (CVE-2024-45409).
