Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page.

i just had a thought:
perhaps the mastodon team did this on purpose?
on the rationale that pinning a reply to someone else can be construed as a harassment vector
which is fine
but we should know if so
@benroyce @Mastodon Absolutely, there's nothing about pinning and replies documented that I can see https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/blob/main/content/en/user/discoverability.md
If that's the case though, then the fact that pinning reply will immediately appear on my profile if I already have a column with it open must be a bug. Feels like there's something unintended happening either way.

yeah that makes sense: appear/ disappear smells like a bug, not policy

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 I like how it became easier to edit profiles and switch off boosts. The 'Following you' badge seemed logical and informative. The fact that the same info now requires a treasure hunt is puzzling.
I have no suggested featured hashtags. My Featured menu states I haven't set any hashtags, which doesn't reflect the reality; I have. They are hovering above my Activity with no label of what they are. -

@kevinbowen @jandi great insights, both. Thanks for the feedback! @Mastodon

@imanijoy @kevinbowen @Mastodon I really appreciate the consideration, thanks for your work!
Can you point me to some resources on the technical side of this, like... I don't know, specs, FEPs or whatever related to personal notes in AP/Mastodon?

@meganmariehart @Mastodon @imanijoy
Me too, I've had this error for almost 12 hours now.
I cannot see anyone's profile nor see my own.
@Karma_J @meganmariehart yikes – thanks for reporting. I've informed the team, and we're looking into it. @Mastodon

A new Activity tab has a dropdown menu for filtering different views of information (posts, boosts, replies) so you can find the information you're interested in.

@meganmariehart @Mastodon @imanijoy hi! what browser do you use? and it happens in between browser cache clears and restarts?

@raph oui j'ai boosté. C'est trop cool. Et puis alt text pour la PP et la bannière !

@meganmariehart @Mastodon @imanijoy version 115 came out in 2023 which could be why. do you experience the same issue in another, up-to-date browser?

@meganmariehart @Mastodon @imanijoy something is very odd- the latest ESR is 140.9.0esr, i just downloaded it. you can also see here in Wikipedia, "Firefox 115 ESR were released on July 4, 2023":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_version_history#Firefox_115_through_127
i'd suggest manually installing the latest version and trying again.

@meganmariehart @Mastodon @imanijoy alright i figured it out. Firefox 115.34esr is the latest of version 115, which originally came out in 2023. 115.34 came out a few days ago, but that was for critical security fixes- functionally the browser is still ~3 years old.
i did find a fix which should be up next week or so, but i still recommend you update your browser if you can.

@FinchHaven @gbargoud the new profiles *are* live on mastodon.social
for comparison, here is how your profile looks like on mastodon.social VS sfba.social

Absolutely!
I double-checked with the team on this: Personal notes are a Mastodon-specific app feature, and by design are not federated. We'll take note of the request to add exporting functionality to personal notes. Thanks!
but I NEED a search bar for my bookmarks, hashtags, favorites and profile posts. A sorting filter for posts on a profile as oldest, newest, popular (based on the most boosts, comments and quoted posts)
Firefox is up to date” in the settings, and the update history reads:
