What I mean specifically are these endless toggles everywhere. Click-click-click-click. Before it was just a click.
Also, why change the most used hashtags into a horizontal list? And what's with that huge button to show more pinned items? What was wrong with the old setup? The carousel wasn't great either, but I liked the version that showed them one below the other.
What problems are we actually trying to solve here?
I know these aren't shipped yet, but does anyone actually use Figma and discuss UX?

Man I’ve missed a social network that’s just a chronological timeline of posts by people I’ve chosen to follow. #mastodon

I won't be able to use the flag EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=profile_redesign for a while. I do not have time to redesign ours. I really think the Mastodon core team has made some poor choices lately, UX anti-patterns are popping up again. Last time, they changed post visibility under a modal that required up to six clicks and added unnecessary cognitive strain. I even sent a PR suggestion, but they rejected it.
Right now we have "Posts" and "Posts and replies" in tabs, but in the experimental profile redesign there's a "Posts" toggle that contains "Replies" and "Posts" toggles underneath it. It adds extra clicks and combines interface elements under one toggle, which just creates more friction. What's wrong with traditional tabs?
I wish they'd stop breaking what already works well. Honestly, as a long-time front-end developer, I don't understand some of these design choices. Hopefully, these experimental features will mature a bit before they make it to stable.

Will hold off for now.

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2026-02-21, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4.
This update includes today's latest daily build with 121 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-02-08.
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
- Theme system overhaul. This won't affect us and is currently a bit incomplete, because we do not utilize this new color-scheme feature in our themes, yet.
- Lots of fixes and underlying changes
🔮 Upcoming
- Profile redesign and Collections are being 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 translate button color not matching link color
- Fix extra border-left showing up in mobile devices
- Updated install script for new theme infrastructure (idempotent, handles stale theme cleanup)
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.4.

@violetmadder @onepict As an #autistic, #Mastodon is one of the only Social media platforms I can stomach, as it's toned down, with no invasive, distracting garbage built into the platform. No ads, no algorithms, just a small army of abrasive, sensationalist, agenda-loudmouthed people needing to be muted and blocked. Then it's awesome.

Wow, there are a lot of breaking changes in the latest Mastodon nightly. I'm a bit surprised by some of the UI choices being made. I haven't been able to refactor all the code in Mastodon Bird UI yet, and I already have quite a bit of technical debt. This won't make my life any easier. I hope I get some breathing room before 4.6.0 is released.

Die #CDU will ein Social-Media-Verbot bis 14 durchsetzen. Ich kann das verstehen. Suchtmechaniken und ein nie endender Schwall von Werbung, Hass und Lügen. Aber auch ganz viele schöne Dinge. Kommunikation mit Freund*innen, Popkultur & Fun. Dort haben sie sich zu Friday for Future organisiert. Das dürfen wir ihnen nicht nehmen. Statt dessen sollten Plattformen so gestaltet werden müssen, das sie auch für Erwachsene ein schöner und friedlicher Ort sind. #Mastodon ist da nah dran.
