Hello! Long time no see!
And welcome to the new users, of which there are... quite many, aren't there?
As you may have noticed, this project has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while. This is something I work on in my free time, and I got a bit burned out on working on it, and wanted to use my free time for other stuff. But with this recent influx of so many new users, I figured I do need to come back to this.
So I am planning to at least release some smaller updates in the near future!
Getting a bit offtopic, I think a lot of servers just sort of upgraded to 4.0 assuming it would be basically the same with new features, but 4.0 has actually a number of changes and feature *removals* admins might find to be a surprise. Pages no longer load without JavaScript, which means they don't load instantly; the multicolumn "instance at a glance" view for logged out users is gone; margins have been tweaked, (IMO) breaking Advanced mode; the logged-out front page is now totally different:
@mcc yeah the nice static pages have all been removed for ease of maintenance and replaced with the crime that is the single-column view
@puffercat a lot of people I know use KeePass (and I use it but only for work, privately I just use Firefox Sync)
@maloki it screams Corporation
Heads up for #MastoAdmin: Mastodon 4 took away the instance landing page.
/about is gone, and /about/more is now /about, but if you have Trends enabled, you can't link directly to /about because it redirects to the /explore hashtag.
The upgrade also broke our server thumbnail image, which had to be re-uploaded, and all of our custom CSS which will need to be rewritten.
@dogo also lmao at every page having a back button even if you navigate to it on a fresh tab
@dogo I think it's awful and I shouldn't have eight or so buttons on my screen taking up valuable horizontal space
@agatha it still shows the original, I know it should be able to handle them but apparently there's a bug
@agatha I can't see your edited post on my instance
@dogo I want to hacksaw about 2 cms off the right side of all screens of whoever came up with that *cough* I know who *cough*
@mawr you can probably find some converter online
