New #Hometown release is coming tomorrow, aligned with the Mastodon security update that is happening. This is going to result in a forced upgrade to Mastodon v4.2.x for everyone who wants the security features (since v4.0 isn't supported by the Mastodon team anymore).
This will bring a lot of changes to Hometown. I've done my best to maintain the quality of our pastel themes, and local posting still works, and of course exclusive lists are now part of main Mastodon. More in the docs tomorrow!
