Wow QOTO is really rocking it on user retention. We have been up for over 2 years now and seems after 2 years of signups over 25% of our users remain active. Considering we dont delete old or inactive accounts that is pretty impressive!

Now that the upgrade is complete a lot of you are probably curious about the new features we added. They were mostly pulled in from the Fedibird fork, but the code had to be considerable modified to get fully working. The following is the complete list of new features introduced in this upgrade.

Domain Subscriptions - Bring another instance's local timeline as a feed in QOTO, no need to have an account on another server again, just import their timeline here!

Keyword Subscriptions - Create custom timelines based off keywords not just hashtags, you can even use regex for advanced matching

Account Subscriptions - This allows you to follow a remote accounts public toots in your Home timeline without actually following them, great for following users with locked accounts.

Sundays tend to be the slowest day of the week for new signups on #QOTO but today we are seeing twice the usual number of signups. Is there another exodus on the horizon?
