Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page.

I find the tiny space we're allocated on the left side to write posts and replies very off putting. It's too small and feels strange having to focus on the side of my screen instead of the centre. I find myself leaning to the left when I'm writing to correct for that, which isn't comfortable. Would prefer something in the middle and also inline when replying to others.
Thanks, J.

Profile editing is now a unified experience, with everything in a single view. You can also now add alt text for profile and cover photos.
@Mastodon ах да, one more thing, та самая фича, которую вы у себя убрали, не так ли?

There's much more to discover! Read the blog post for more information, and let us know what you think.
These updates will start to appear on mastodon.social and other servers running nightly builds from today, and will be available to everyone in Mastodon 4.6, coming in a few weeks.
@Mastodon
Add a ‚CV‘ tab with the option to share updates in post format and we can finally get rid of LinkedIn.
Great improvements. Thank you for your work.

@Mastodon you are aiming at lower tech users and are adding the local server regardless of whether it's the one of the viewer.
1 - how does this impact the user experience if they browse a post and try to boost it? or follow while viewing on a server not their own?
2 - it might be good in the tool tip to call out iff the server matches that of the user and say "this person's posts will show up in your local feed". (I'm not sure how to phrase it to be clear and not clutter, but that matters) -

I'm looking at your profile on the mastodon.social site (running an early 4.6) and your home instance and other than the custom fields being compacted a bit, I don't really see much of a difference:

@Mastodon @imanijoy I can see my own profile when i go to https://mastodon.social/profile/edit , but when I click any of the edit icons i get the an error again, but it only says “Something went wrong while loading this screen.”

@Mastodon could use some colour instead of all white... not sure what's the point of paying for a color screen to see a black and white UI.

It's a little niggle and I like Mastodon otherwise, including the instance I'm on (I have a small monthly DD donation running to support it). I'd be very reluctant to start over somewhere else.

@Mastodon @imanijoy I'll use this event to ask for exportable notes. User notes are very important, I don't mind hiding the empty field per se, but coupled with the lack of export, it's turning the notes into a third-class field, when it should be promoted to first-class, as the only private/not shared free-form field available to us.
It could (should?) even be encrypted client side so server admins couldn't see it! Please consider.

@crittero
re 2) The techy ones, yes. For not so techy ones I’ve seen a story or two in recent months of users believing that all Mastodon instances are run by the Mastodon company with the domains being some kind of gimmick – somewhat understandable when you’re used to corpo media platforms and particularily also to BlueSky, where that’s actually pretty acurate. (At least that’s were we suspected it might come from in the comments.)So they’ll probably know the full handle, but not necessarily be aware of what it means.
