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!

🇳🇱
Add a domain to subscribe to then it shows up in the lists or you can add it to an existing list. Then in that list youll see the foreign timeline.
@QOTO Is it a Mastodon fork? Doesn't sound like glitch-soc.
@lightone Correct it is a mastodon fork, not based on glitch social, so we keep pulling in upstream updates from vanilla mastodon.
@QOTO Nice work, thank you for all the time researching and building these extra new features.
Let's hope this update goes smoothly too (the last one was unreally smooth). Crossing fingers! 😛
