We just released Mastodon 4.5.5, 4.4.12, and 4.3.18.

These versions contain various bug fixes, including very important (1 high severity, 3 moderate severity) security fixes.

Mastodon 4.2 is now unsupported, so if you still run it, please update to a supported version as soon as you can.

Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub releases page.

I've created an "All-Hands" Call on DIscord for this evening at 6pm MST. I'm hoping that anyone interested in participating in the technical aspects (and other areas) are able to join.

Updated chaos.social to Mastodon v4.5.5 #mastoadmin

My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.

However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.

Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.

My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.

24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.

This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.

If we truly want to build community, we do it together.

At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.

If you're running your own Mastodon server and you're still on a pre-4.5 version, you might want to update to the latest version (4.5.5).

The "fetch all replies" feature introduced in 4.5 means you see all the replies in threads no matter which server you're viewing from, no matter how large or small your server is. This makes cross-server interactions much easier.
