The first beta release of Mastodon 4.5.0 is ready for testing!
Quote posts are finally here, as well as automated fetching of remote replies and a lot of other improvements.
For server moderators, there is also a way to block registrations based on keywords appearing in usernames.
Please test it out and provide feedback 💬
If all goes well, we plan to release the final 4.5.0 version within the next 3 weeks.

Woohoo! Quote posts are here.
@MastodonEngineering today released the first public beta version, so your instance might soon fire it up. And, official production release is only weeks away.
Have been using quote posts here on .online for the last few weeks and can say it is stable and really well thought out. Lovin' quote posts!
Great job Mastodon Engineering!
