Mastodon now supports automatic switching between the light and dark theme, depending on your system setting.
It will be available in the upcoming 4.3 version, or is already there if your instance runs the nightly code.
You can switch to this new automatic theme in your Appearance preferences. Instance admins can also set it as the default theme (I just did it on mastodon.social and mastodon.online).
Another recently merged feature is the new "severed relationship" notifications. Those will appear when a moderator or admin blocks a user or a whole domain and this action caused you to loose some follows or followers.
Those blocks used to be invisible to users, you maybe saw your follows/followers count decrease but nothing more. Now you can access a list of those blocks, and download a CSV file with the list of impacted accounts.
@joenepraat My current target is 6-8 weeks, but no promises here, we are still underwater but I am starting to prune the roadmap to try to release "soon”.
We also added a way to filter your notifications, if you receive a lot of them and want to focus on the most important ones.
The available filters are:
people you don’t follow
people not following you
account created less than 30 days ago
private mentions from users you do not follow
The notifications matching your configured filters will be displayed in a new “Filtered notifications” area, where you can either accept them, or mute notifications from this user.
Support for those new features will need to be added to the various client apps, and right now they require your server to run the nightly code version.
They will be available in the 4.3 release which we are preparing for. We will try to release it in the next 6 to 8 weeks. I would like to include notifications grouping in it, but this has some challenges and we are not certain we can implement it in time.
