⚠️ maintenance ⚠️

Today at 18:00 CET I will start upgrading mountains.social to version 4.5.0. This will cause some short hiccups around that time, so bare with me.

✅ maintenance ✅

And there you have it, we are on 4.5. The long awaited quote posting has arrived. Use it responsibly. 😉

Apart from quote posting there are several other improvements. You can find more on them here:

You can define who can quote your post in the settings.

Be default the boost button will now provide the question for boost or quote. If you want the button to boost by default, you can also change that in the settings. The quote option will then move to the context menu.

Ofcourse quoting is only possible via the Web UI or when you app supports it.

Settings --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Boosting preferences

Apart from the people from Mastodon, I would also like to highlight the vast amount of work that @nileane and @rolle put in to get the Tangerine and Bird UI custom themes ready for version 4.5.

This is no small feat and hats off to them. 🙌
