I'm curious, is anyone here using the new bookmark feature to bookmark toots?

One last notice for the day. The search index is being rebuilt. So while you can still do full text searches here it will be a day or two until you get full search results. We normally keep toots from he entire fediverse back to the beginning of time but you cant access it until the index completes. Please be patient and if a search doesn't give you enough results try back later and it should work.

This also may reduce the number of results you see in remote timelines you are subscribed to locally. As the index completes then these remote timelines should fill up more quickly and completely I believe. For now everything works just fine.

Let us know if anyone has problems or questions.

What stylization / capitalization should we use for the qoto name?

I have to admit the instance ticker theme is pretty nice. I'm tempted to make a version of the theme merged with our default material theme with fixed width

@freemo Amazing! This is the feature I was most waiting for on Mastodon! How did you do it?

Hows the new upgrades treating everyone? Would love to hear some comments, particularly if anyone is struggling to learn the new features or having issues.

Remember when using the Domain Subscribe feature it will only start showing new toots AFTER you create the subscription, it wont show older toots!

Another Update Notice!

We just reset the server again, last time by the look of it. The Simple UI is now fixed and the menu bar is back. Advanced UI remains unchanged and continues to work.

All updates and features appear to be fully functional at this time.

Enjoy!

What does everyone think of all the new features we added to earlier today?

We have a fix prepared for the bug with the simple UI where the menu on the right isnt showing (advanced UI works).

We are backing up the DB and a some other post-update chores once those finish we will update the server again and the simple UI will work. We will update everyone here when that happens, until then please use the advanced UI as a work around.

Notice:

For the time being everyone will have to go into their preferences and turn on advanced UI. The navigation menu disappeared in simple mode. I'm going to try to fix that but until I do just use advanced mode please.

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.

Misskey compatible quoting of toots

Bookmarking of toots

Support for WebP and HEIC media uploads

An update to the getting-started menu to include center stage links to and the @QOTO announcements account (me!)

The update is now complete and fully functional. Local Timeline is back where it should be.

Enjoy all the new features!

Ok fixed the issue with the local timeline locally, going to push the fix to the server soon.

Looks like me might have temporarily lost our local timeline... though foreign domain subscriptions seem to work it doesnt seem to work for qoto itself. I'm working on it.
