Do you want to customise your Mastodon timeline so that it shows more of the stuff you want, and less of the stuff you don't want?

The timeline on Mastodon deliberately doesn't use any algorithm, and instead lets users decide what they see. There are lots of features you can use to customise your timeline including following accounts/hashtags/groups, filters, lists, notifications, blocks, mutes, boost mutes, conversation mutes and more:

🤯 Scientists capture first image of two black holes in orbit

｢ The black holes themselves remain invisible, but the image provides clear visual evidence of their position, motion, and dual existence. The larger of the two has a mass estimated at 18 billion times that of the Sun. The smaller is around 150 million times the Sun’s mass ｣

Oh wow! I recently looked at Taiga and didn't use it because the pricing tiers weren't a fit - definitely going to revisit!

I started the work and design on Bloblin, and @tsyesika carried it across the finish line (itself not a trivial task!)

On a somewhat self-indulgent level, this release is nice because I often am caught up in the day-to-day operations these days as Executive Director. Bloblin was a group effort, but I built out the core of the design, which was nice to do that kind of engineering again.

Plus I got to do the animation :)
