Almost time for bed, super proud of all the cool new features #QOTO has now. If i have time might work on one or two new features in a few more days after we see how this goes.

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!

#mastoadmin #mastodon #QOTO

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.

#fedibird and #qoto are very so great of the #mastodon of #fediverse !

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 #QotoJournal and the @QOTO announcements account (me!)

#QOTO #Mastodon #Mastoadmin

@design_RG All should be good now with a ton of new features. I bet your going to love that new domain subscription feature. No need for anyone to have multiple accounts anymore

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

Enjoy all the new features!

Attention: Another QOTO Update/Restart

This is a big one so everyone pay attention.

I recently just got done adding in several new features to the QOTO codebase, it will be going live on the server within the hour. It brings with it lots of new features you wont find in Mastodon, that also means a bit of risk, so lets hope this update goes smoothly.

Once the new version is up please feel free to share what you love or hate, we can always tweak this stuff. The following are some of the new features:

* Bookmarking toots and retrieving.

* Quoting toots

* Domain subscription (this one is my favorite) where you can follow a specific instance (not a user) and basically create a local timeline at QOTO reflecting the remote instances timeline.

* Account subscription. This is a bit like a follow but not a follow. It is where you follow a persons public toots only but dont actually follow them. This is handy if a user posts some public toots but also has their followers locked for approval. You can still follow them without their approval or them even knowing you follow.

* a more prominent link to our QOTO announcements and the #QotoJournal / #QOTO hashtags.

* Several additional theme alternatives to try

*And many others!

#mastoadmin #Qoto #Mastodon #fediverse #Announcement

While we wait for the system administrator to start flipping the bits and begin the upgrade I wanted to update everyone on what this new QOTO update will be bringing us.

* Fixes character limit when using mobile apps. On compliant mobile apps it should now be possible to make full size posts of 65,535 characters just as you always could in the web interface.

* Local-only / non-federated toots will now be possible. This lets you make toots that show up int he Local feed but not in the Federated feed.

* The link to the source code on our about page will now correctly post to the QOTO source code

* Plus all the great features QOTO is already known for like in-line math latext is still available.

* And of course we also pull in all the great features added in the core Mastodon 3.0.1 releases such as trending hashtags, better media support, better user migration capabilities, and better management over live-refreshing fast-moving feeds.

#QOTO

QOTO's varient of Mastodon is now deployed, version 3.0.1 is now active with all sorts of new features.

Aside from the new features mentioned here there are a few others I want to point out: https://qoto.org/@QOTO/103517518837050128

Aside from a few new features in your profile settings one really nice new feature is that all moderator actions with regards to suspending or silencing an instance is automatically reported on our about/more page. This means you are always promised to see a live up to date report of any servers we decide to block or silence. Help keep us honest.

Enjoy v3.0.1!

#QOTO #Mastoadmin #mastodon #upgrade

One small reminder over the most recent upgrade. Because of changes in 3.0.0 our search index had to be recreated. Because we have one of the largest historical collection of toots in the fediverse going back several years this means it will take quite a while to re-index. It may be a day or two until full text search is fully working again but it will slowly come back online. Thanks for the patience.

They added itself on top of the mastodon codebase. From what I hear they did a pretty shitty job of it too and its rather buggy.

Graph Theory and Topology - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_K%C3%B6nigsberg

This has applications in GIS, especially around things like circulation elements city planners use to plan out road placement and design.

Fun fact - Konigsberg no longer exists, it was destroyed by the Russians in WWII and now exists as the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
