In today's mastodon.social update, we're testing a few minor quality of life improvements to the web interface: Every list of accounts now has a shortcut to add or remove an account from lists; clicking a hashtag in a post now brings up a menu with a shortcut to browse posts in that hashtag specifically by the author, and a new featured tab on profiles to make featured hashtags and posts easier to find and navigate.

@Gargron Give me something to turn off nagging "Please alt text" things. many times I put in the toot text what it is. I hate having to re-enter it when I add image.

@Gargron is that solvent the Problem that Features hashtags (only one) is Tugend away in the corner of the Server Profile Screen and not seen on the Profile „blade“?

@nileane We're probably going to bring back one pinned post on the default tab with a link to the featured for more. Having to scroll past 5+ is too disruptive in my view.

@Gargron I like it!
However I think demoting pinned posts to the featured tab on profiles kinda takes away from their main purpose? Usually pinned posts are posts that you'd want to be the first thing other users see when visiting your profile.
The fact that the featured tab is not active by default somewhat goes against that.
What do you think?

@Gargron Oh! Now that there’s a featured tab, can Featured Profiles be added back? Definitely a possibility now. 😊

@Gargron Thank you everyone. Those sound great! They remove a lot of barriers to using hashtags.

@Gargron for some reason with the latest update it no longer displays profiles as mutuals and the follow button just says unfollow

@Gargron possibly a bug: "Add or Remove from lists" menu item appears even on non-following accounts. I guess the menu should be disabled until user follows the account, or… maybe the 'Add [account] to lists' modal need to show some error message if adding fails 🤔

@synchron Translations cost money. That would not be economical if you might not read every post.

@Gargron is it possible to set an "always translate" option to a profile in the web ui?
That would make following accounts outside your region a lot easier.

@Gargron There seems to be a new bug related to this test: When I visit the profile page of one of my mutuals, the follow/unfollow-button doesn't read "Mutual" any more, but "Unfollow".
