Mastodon switches things up to make its app a little easier to use


Mastodon 4.3 makes it simpler to find people to follow.

Mastodon just released version 4.3 of its web app, and CEO Eugen Rochko says its new updates, like grouped notifications, should make the open social network easier to use. Rochko says Mastodon is improving these personalized recommendations because it found its earlier version wasn’t really helping users with discovery: “We found that people would skip follow recommendations during onboarding and end up with a boring feed that doesn’t offer anything new for hours or days.” Additional design tweaks include new dialog boxes and icons and the ability to reorder photos in the post composer.
