Heads up for anyone who might be thinking of migrating to Catodon from Sharkey with the option to migrate back: It seems like you will currently lose any Pages if you migrate back to Sharkey (because of the AiScript removal). I will fix this in a few days. Until then, perhaps postpone migrations […]
Working on threadiverse integration has been very interesting, with the design choices that have to be made to make this work properly - and it might affect the microblogging side, too: I'm thinking of adding New/Hot/Active sortings to regular timelines. The Active one could even be close to […]
Now you can not only convert .HEIC images in Catodon, but .HEVC and .MKV videos too (just need to install ffmpeg and enter its path in default.yml, uncommenting the mediaConversion section)

And since 26.4.0 is out, let me show you a couple of things that I was working on for 26.4.1 in the last few days: When you play a video (either uploaded or from youtube) using the in-post video player and you scroll away, it no longer keeps playing out of […]

I'm thinking of removing AiScript from Catodon. Instead, I could perhaps allow admins create html widgets (sandboxed for safety). WDYT?

Made some more minor changes in the RSS feeds after @sproid 's feedback, you can now see a little more information in mobile view, and the most significant change: since Bluskey has RSS for each public account, you can now follow anyone you want from Catodon […]

And for my next trick: Catodon forums.
Yep. I'm bringing the threadiverse to the misskeyverse.

One last change before the RC for 26.4.0: Catodon now handles ActivityPub Articles and Pages properly, rendering html and all, instead of turning them all into Notes and showing them as a CW with the summary as comment, which tbf was pretty ugly. I will gradually make more adjustments so that we […]
Catodon's new carousel in-post view
Catodon's new in-post carousel for viewing media attachments. Attachment limit also bumped to 20 (from 16), to align with Pixelfed's default. Now live on catodon.rocks
#catodon
Both the profile page media grid view and the HEIC support are live on catodon.rocks, along with lots of small details in the Columns (deck) view (the interaction now is more like the mobile interface).
Will probably add a couple more things tomorrow and then we're going more or less into […]
Catodon's new grid view for media files
How about a grid view of each user's media files in their profile pages?
#catodon
I'm gonna make Catodon so good, it will be hard to ignore - promise.

Coming soon to Catodon, something that was asked for since the Firefish days, but was never implemented: .HEIC image format support
#catodon #fediverse #heic #iphone #ios
At first I removed the features I didn't want only from the UI, as it was safer, but now I feel more comfortable with my tools and I did a deep removal of Chat, Reversi, Bubble Game and Play. The rest of the features that I have removed, like Channels, are not worth the hassle and would give no […]
Screenshot of Catodon's new sorting options for viewing your Following and Followers list
Screenshot from Catodon showing the new Bookmarks page, where you can also bookmark users and RSS posts
Latest from the Catodon lab: A new way to view Followers/Following, with many sorting options (for other users the options are alphabetical by name and username only, for your profile you can also sort based on when the connection was made and when each user […]

Some more changes, this time in user profile pages:
- Only tabs that have content are visible when you look at other users' profiles
- "Raw" tab is only visible to admins and moderators - no reason for regular users to get all that technical information
- "Activity" tab is only visible to your […]
Also made some improvements in the Accounts timeline - now it checks for new posts every 60 seconds, and rearranges the accounts column accordingly. This might not sound ideal if you want to catch up with a lot of accounts and take your time, because accounts you haven't reached yet will be […]
Screenshot of the new RSS timeline in Catodon
The all-new RSS timeline, allowing you to follow your favourite sites and blogs from your fedi account and easily share their articles, coming (very) soon to Catodon 😎
#Catodon
Alright, so in Catodon we have already implemented hashtags and word follows in the Home timeline, GIF integration, a chat-like DM feature... wanna know what's next?
An RSS reader, right inside your timelines. Give me a few days.

@evan@cosocial.ca hi Evan, sorry for tagging you publicly but I think others might be interested in this. Tags.pub is a great idea, but I can't follow accounts from tags.pub from Catodon/Sharkey (and I guess Misskey too, since they are forks of that). The follow request gets stuck at pending […]
Alright, now that the DM page is up, I just started working on the next big feature I want to add for 26.04 - more in a few days 😁

Screenshot of Catodon's Direct messages page
One of the biggest complaints I read from new Fediverse users, is "Wait, you don't have DMs here?". But the "specified users" visibility is exactly that - they're just not handled as DMs, but as plain posts. But it doesn't have to be like this.
I just deployed […]

Is there any reason to always see the "Mark all notifications as read" button, even when there are no unread notifications, besides cluttering the UI? Just made it appear only when unread notifications are over zero. Will deploy later today on catodon.rocks, along with the dedicated Direct […]

Here's the latest feature in Catodon's develop, for the upcoming 26.04 release - another suggestion by @germ !
As you may know, Catodon has Firefish's "threads in timeline" feature, which greatly declutters timelines for threads (instead of seeing […]

So today @germ hit me up with a suggestion to improve the Search page, and I did make a few changes:
-Removed the "Lookup" tab - initially I had moved this from the Navigation bar, where it was a separate item, into "Search" as a tab, but I realized it's not needed at all, since Search already […]
Alright, back to development, en route for Catodon 26.04! I've already started working on a Direct messages page, but I took a break today and tackled other unrelated issues on my list. First of all, "preview post" now works correctly, in all (or most) cases! External URL previews are displayed […]
OK, hope this goes well 😅 - first time doing this, so please don't be harsh if anything goes wrong. I've done all the testing I could, but if you see any bugs, please just let me know. If needed, I'll do a follow-up hotfix release.
So, what else can I say? A few months ago I thought Catodon was […]
Just fixed a Misskey bug that has annoyed me since I came to fedi on 2022, where reposts from users you have blocked appear in your timeline, leaving you wondering why would you see a post from them after a block.
#Catodon
Catodon 26.03 will probably be released tomorrow! In the meantime, I've been working on a "Direct messages" page for the next release, and it's coming along nicely. As soon as 26.03 is released, I'll merge the DM page into develop and update catodon.rocks for testing and feedback.

Added a few more minor things tonight: Posts can "open in a new tab" (also with ctrl+left click), and if you're having issues with the reactions/emoji picker being visible on hover, right-clicking the Like button will stabilize the emoji picker until you close it. Also added a tooltip to the […]
