We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-alpha.5+mementomods-2026-03-21, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4.
This update includes today's latest daily build with 269 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-02-21.
What's new in Mastodon core - These are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:
✨️ New features
- Collections: Public collections on profiles, remote account support, share dialog, reporting, moderation tools, tag suggestions, and language selector (not active for us yet)
- Profile editing: New API, avatar/header image uploading with descriptions, featured tags editing, account fields grid layout (not active for us yet)
- New `exclude_direct` flag for account statuses API
- Split `invite_users` permission into `invite_bypass_approval` for finer control
- `max_note_length` and `max_display_name_length` now exposed in instance configuration API
- Accessibility improvements to sign-up flow, reset password and confirmation pages
- Lots of fixes, refactors, and dependency updates
🔮 Upcoming
- Profile redesign and Collections continue to be built incrementally upstream behind experimental flags, we'll enable them once Mastodon Bird UI support is ready
- FASP (Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers) infrastructure continues to be developed
🐦⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 (nightly)
- Fix focusable background color standing out too much for account name
- Fix install script for Mastodon 2026-03-21 `common.scss` removal
Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 is still a work in progress in the nightly branch. It's not 100% ready, but it's stable with today's Mastodon alpha.5. Unfortunately a development is a bit stalled due to a lack of time personally.

@enobacon the only #search that works in my experience is for #hashtags and until #FulltextSearch works everyone complaining about my hashtag useage needs to STFU and instead annoy the #Mastodon #developers.

with the current (understandable) uncertainty around the future of mstdn.ca, is there a desire for an alternative hosted/moderated-in-canada/for-canadians instance?
i registered fedizen.ca a while ago, and am willing to build a new instance if there is a need/desire for one using that domain.

This antique oak console table trick can make any entryway look instantly expensive.
It’s not just the wood—it’s the presence. Oak brings depth, weight, and a sense of history that modern pieces can’t fake.
The trick? Keep it minimal. Let the table speak.
One strong piece… and the whole space feels elevated.

If you're interested in starting your own Mastodon server, there's a non-technical easy-to-understand guide to doing it in 10 steps on the website at:
🌱 https://growyourown.services/making-your-own-mastodon-server-in-10-steps
This guide assumes you want to use "managed hosting", where the hosting company does all the techy stuff for you behind the scenes.
Most of this guide also applies to other types of Fediverse server too, as the general principles are the same.
