Remember when using the Domain Subscribe feature it will only start showing new toots AFTER you create the subscription, it wont show older toots!

Another Update Notice!

We just reset the server again, last time by the look of it. The Simple UI is now fixed and the menu bar is back. Advanced UI remains unchanged and continues to work.

All updates and features appear to be fully functional at this time.

Enjoy!

See? The quote feature is useful!

What does everyone think of all the new features we added to #QOTO earlier today?

We have a fix prepared for the bug with the simple UI where the menu on the right isnt showing (advanced UI works).

We are backing up the DB and a some other post-update chores once those finish we will update the server again and the simple UI will work. We will update everyone here when that happens, until then please use the advanced UI as a work around.

#fedibird and #qoto are very so great of the #mastodon of #fediverse !

Notice:

For the time being everyone will have to go into their preferences and turn on advanced UI. The navigation menu disappeared in simple mode. I'm going to try to fix that but until I do just use advanced mode please.

Now that the upgrade is complete a lot of you are probably curious about the new features we added. They were mostly pulled in from the Fedibird fork, but the code had to be considerable modified to get fully working. The following is the complete list of new features introduced in this upgrade.

Domain Subscriptions - Bring another instance's local timeline as a feed in QOTO, no need to have an account on another server again, just import their timeline here!

Keyword Subscriptions - Create custom timelines based off keywords not just hashtags, you can even use regex for advanced matching

Account Subscriptions - This allows you to follow a remote accounts public toots in your Home timeline without actually following them, great for following users with locked accounts.

Misskey compatible quoting of toots

Bookmarking of toots

Support for WebP and HEIC media uploads

An update to the getting-started menu to include center stage links to #QotoJournal and the @QOTO announcements account (me!)

#QOTO #Mastodon #Mastoadmin

The update is now complete and fully functional. Local Timeline is back where it should be.

Enjoy all the new features!

Attention: Another QOTO Update/Restart

This is a big one so everyone pay attention.

I recently just got done adding in several new features to the QOTO codebase, it will be going live on the server within the hour. It brings with it lots of new features you wont find in Mastodon, that also means a bit of risk, so lets hope this update goes smoothly.

Once the new version is up please feel free to share what you love or hate, we can always tweak this stuff. The following are some of the new features:

* Bookmarking toots and retrieving.

* Quoting toots

* Domain subscription (this one is my favorite) where you can follow a specific instance (not a user) and basically create a local timeline at QOTO reflecting the remote instances timeline.

* Account subscription. This is a bit like a follow but not a follow. It is where you follow a persons public toots only but dont actually follow them. This is handy if a user posts some public toots but also has their followers locked for approval. You can still follow them without their approval or them even knowing you follow.

* a more prominent link to our QOTO announcements and the #QotoJournal / #QOTO hashtags.

* Several additional theme alternatives to try

*And many others!
