RE: https://mastodon.social/@imanijoy/116516874504739572

I'm inspired to see many long-standing Fediverse supporters, moderators, admins, and code contributors volunteer their expertise for Discovery Week! I can't wait to learn from you all.

But we're missing some important voices: Non-technical users.

Which is why I have a favor to ask: Please share this post with someone you know who is a casual, non-technical user of Mastodon or any social platform. I want to make sure we're hearing from a wide range of perspectives!

I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.

We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

@tchambers very much looking forward to this!

One of my favorite things about being neurodivergent is wrapping up a serious work meeting and immediately breaking into a musical stim. Today it’s me singing this mashup from eons ago

@halcy excellent idea. For now you can follow #FeedbackFriday, as I'll be tagging future requests with this. Of course, nothing prevents hashtags from being used in other ways, so it's not a perfect solution. I'll think of what else we might be able to do for you here. Thanks!

@FinchHaven

This isn't about onboarding as many users as quickly as possible, but rather giving a better onboarding experience to users who do find us. Retention and a better user experience, not acquisition at all costs. Thanks!

Collections are on the way, and I can't wait to learn how you're using them and how we can improve the feature. #mastodon

When viewing the profile of someone you're already following, which button combination would you prefer and why?

#Mastodon

[3/4] Even after following someone, knowing that account follows you adds a layer of confidence and helps you to make decisions large and small – whether you're pruning your following list, or choosing how to engage with a questionable mention.

[2/4] What stood out to me most is the weight this indicator has on making many of you feel safe in the Fediverse. Time can pass, we forget why we followed people, and sometimes things even go wrong.

@stefan @monikavernandes @harvestntech @katherine_montalto @richlv @iwein @fembot @cobalt123 @mtechman @f @ddlyh @nathandyer @iwritelike

[1/4] I enjoyed reading your feedback on the importance of the 'Following you' indicator on profiles.

@iwein @fembot @cobalt123 @mtechman @f @ddlyh @nathandyer @iwritelike (and there are probably others I've missed here, forgive me)

#FeedbackFriday

[4/4] I'm confident we can reintroduce the 'Follows you' indicator before 4.6, and your feedback also has me curious about a few other areas this badge could be more directly helpful – in your "People I'm following" list, for instance. Rest assured, you've been heard! And thanks again for your collaboration.

@stefan @monikavernandes @harvestntech @katherine_montalto @richlv @iwein @fembot @cobalt123 @mtechman @f @ddlyh @nathandyer @iwritelike

@tchambers this seems totally reasonable. Thanks for the suggestion!

@evan did you watch my talk, or are you just a bit clairvoyant? 😎 Either way, great question.

Our team is monitoring feedback on Mastodon and Github. We also just landed on an open-source survey software that works for us, so I'll also be sharing a survey with the 4.6 release.

@juliaro are all of your notes this beautiful? 😍 Thanks for the recap, and I'm glad you enjoyed the talk!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116296392095869320

You heard right – the new profile experience is now live on Mastodon.social and other participating servers, and will soon be available to all in Mastodon 4.6.

With it comes easier editing, simpler handle explainers, and much more.

Thanks to the #mastodon community for your continued support and feedback!
