Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page.
-
We've reworked featured hashtags, pinned posts, and custom fields to make the most important details more easily discoverable, and make better use of vertical space.
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.

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.

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.
@Mastodon hiding boosts is very useful! It's impossible to find your own posts otherwise..

@Mastodon Is this survey prompted automatically or can i opt to take it voluntarily?

@Mastodon What happens when text in custom fields is sentence-long? In today’s listed view, it is readable without hovering. This new compact design seems to only allow a couple characters.

Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page. We've used community feedback and surveys to inform these updates. In our latest blog post, @imanijoy explains our design thinking and choices. Here are a few highlights 🧵

@Mastodon Could you make an option to display the "You follow each other" resp. "Follows you" badge on the profile page, please? Preferably more (!) prominent than it was before you've removed it.

@Mastodon
Great development. Thank you. -

@Mastodon Maybe you finally give users the option to choose from several variants themselves?

I follow Mastodon on Github and I've been waiting for this to happen
I've been on Mastodon basically seven days a week since Nov 2 2022 and currently have one Main and two Alt accounts
My Profile page is highly evolved to look --> exactly <-- as I want it to, featuring --> exactly <-- what I want people to see of me on all three instances
(The Pinned Post carousel notwithstanding)
But now that's all going away, to be replaced by the opinions of 500 people from 300 instances, was it?
Funny
I never saw any opinions being asked of anyone, anywhere
Guess my range of view on Mastodon is too constricted
I did see questions and dissent on Github being silenced as "violations of the TOS" however
Interesting how that works
Oh well
Gotta onboard those weekender / short-timers, right?

It all looks great, and everything I've tinkered with so far seems seems to work very well. Great job!

@liilliil Ah, I see. Guess it just need to be implemented in the app I use. Then again, it hasn't been updated in a while unfortunately..

@frumble fields take a whole line if they have to, and get compacted if they have enough room to do so
if a profile field is long enough to not fit in a line, an ellipsis button is shown and clicking it opens a modal with multi-line text
here is how your profile looks on mastodon.social

@Mastodon Could you please allow users to post images and videos in quotes? (this is possible on other social media platforms)
-

@Mastodon (I don't need a giant "Unfollow" button. But I definitely need this badge instead of checking the "Following" list each and every time.)
