We’re excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.

Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.

We hope you’ll enjoy the enhancements in Mastodon 4.4, and we’re grateful for your support and feedback. We’re a small team, and we depend on your donations to continue making Mastodon better with features and updates. Please contribute to support our mission if you can.

no. We would suggest using a separate app that supports end-to-end encryption if that is something that you need.
