Coming soon in Mastodon 4.6 - a redesigned profile page.

[crittero@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon @imanijoy Cool redesign overall, but the "Also followed by" section uses the same 4-column grid as the custom fields, and I am not sure if that's intentional.

Definitely doesn't feel great.

[meganmariehart@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon @imanijoy I can’t see profiles on the desktop anymore, I get
“Network error
There was an error when trying to load this page. This could be due to a temporary problem with your internet connection or this server.”
It works on my phone.

[imanijoy@mastodon.social]

@crittero @Mastodon this is a bug, and I’ll make sure the team is informed. Thanks for flagging!

[liilliil@mastodon.online]

@crittero Mastodon GmbH has chosen to disable them but continues to show those that are enabled

@gbargoud

Yeah @Mastodon typically is running on a nightly build

Currently v4.6.0-alpha.6+pr-38417-4d53956

Think i read somewhere that all this new Profiles stuff isn't even live on that nightly version yet

And there, you're still looking at my SFBA Profile back on v4.5.5

[meganmariehart@mastodon.social]

@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.

[jandi@mastodon.social]

@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.

[stepan@mastodon.skorpil.cz]

@Mastodon @imanijoy It looks nice.
But I would like the full date in Joined field. It helps me to distinguish why the person has no posts and if the account is worth following. Is he new, or he's just passive user?

@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.

@qgustavor
I’m on an instance that doesn’t have a bot-mass-follow problem. That really sounds like a mass instance problem (hey, .social!). Also for locked accounts “I got followed by hundreds of bot accounts without noticing” is inherently not a thing and these are very popular around here...

@qgustavor
Not that I think, Glitch will remove it either way, so personally I don’t care much.

@imanijoy

Good to hear! I have been noticing the lack of this feature more and more so here's hoping...!

@jeremyjackson @Gamrok @Mastodon

[drangnon@hachyderm.io]

@curiousicae exactly. if people knew their own instance they wouldn't need to have changed how the handles are in the profile display
@crittero @Mastodon

[jik@federate.social]

@Mastodon It's disappointing that you've revamped the profile page in the web app when the profile functionality in the official Android app is still incomplete.
We should be able to see and edit profile notes in the Android app.

[derpderpington@fosstodon.org]

@Mastodon @imanijoy So when do we get a separate area for hashtags and links as to not take up space in our limited word count? That would be a game changer.

[realgene@hachyderm.io]

@Gargron @Mastodon
I try to search for things I know I've seen, and get incorrect results. Search syntax, like from:me is completely inconsistent and has obvious gaps.

[kingtor@frontrange.co]

@hwll @Mastodon I can? Maybe after my server updates the software....?

[crse@social.linux.pizza]

@Mastodon Broken profile mention? It does not seems to be clickable...
