The current version of is 125.0.2 is still stuck at version 124.0.1 & from is at 124.2.
Not sure, why both of them are not getting any further updates? Have they already given up? Time to switch back to vanilla ?

We are currently blocked by Google for submitting new releases.
They asked videos showing why we need the permission "background services".
Videos are done and will be submitted tomorrow.
This feature is mainly used when posting because it needs to support the thread submission that can embed several media.
The other use case is for fetching the Home timeline.
That's why we have to postpone 3.28.1.
Sorry for that

Wow! That's surprising. Free version on getting the update sooner than the Paid version from the Play Store only because of stupid rules from .

Even after enabling the Display counter option in Settings > Interface, the counter bubble is not appearing in the latest release. It was available in the previous version. Was that feature removed for some reason in this version or is it a bug?

Facing issue in version 3.25.1. When I go to the # Followed tags page from the menu, unable to back to previous page with the back arrow button on the top. Needs to close down the App and re-open. Not sure if this is a bug.

The coming release of fixes annoying crashes. We will add the support to Android 14 and also, we will add a fix that will prevent issues with (ntfy.sh for push notifications - release is only impacted).

We will publish that release this week in our custom Fdroid repo and for Google beta testers.

I am aware that the Translation option is available from the instance/server end. But in some of the cases, translation options are not available in the App which otherwise are available in the default Android App. Is this a bug in the App?

Little tip for people using Mastodon's multicolumn advanced web interface:

You can extend the number of columns by clicking the slider icon in the top right corner of a column and selecting "pin".

There is no slider icon on profiles BUT you can pin particular accounts:

  1. Create a new list
  2. Add the account you want to the list
  3. Pin the list

You will then have a column pinned which only contains posts by that account (and of course you can add more accounts to that list if you want).

Repeat after me...

"There are NO ads on the Internet."

That's true if you're using Mozilla Firefox along with uBlock Origin with all sources enabled, alongside with Privacy Badger.

I have not seen a single ad, anywhere, for well over a year! -- I'm not joking.

I have been using since version 16.04. But I always prefer LTS versions and shall wait for 24.04.1 for upgrade. Anyway, I have watched the above video & as usual, I find it cool.

There's a short video which a lot of new people have found useful, you might want to share it if you're trying to explain to someone what Mastodon is:

(Video is by @tilvids who runs the excellent https://tilvids.com PeerTube server.)

Wow! Thanks for sharing. The video itself was quite self explanatory and informative.

Is there something about Mastodon and the Fediverse that you need help with?

Reply to me or send me a DM and I'll try to help if I can, or put you in touch with someone else who can help.

Don't worry if a question seems silly or obvious! The idea of this account is to especially help new people.

Query about Translation. When there is some poll in non-english language and I try to use the translate option, it only translates the main content. Options for the poll are still visible in non-english language. Am I missing something or is that a bug?

Tejas,
@Tejas@floss.social avatar

@feditips
Yeah. This happened recently in the below mentioned poll.

I’m still using the web client for browsing and posting to . It can be a little funky at times, but I just haven’t given much time to evaluating something else.

What do you use? Feel free to leave a comment to boost your favorite client.

I have tried official as well as couple of third party apps. But PWA (with Advanced Web View option enabled from Settings) on mobile browser is way better than others.

If we have to improve the UI for messages, what would you expect?

PS: there are already some customizations (remove left margin, display counters, change colors).

@apps
Wow, surprised to see so many suggestions for the improvement of the already wonderful app I started using just a couple of months back. Keep up the good work team. 👍
