fediverse admins disgruntled with mastodon 4.0, please send me your critiques :do_boost:

@Lady

  • existing bookmarks (e.g. /web/getting-started and /timelines/public) broke without redirect
  • about page opening in a column isn't great for instances with long ones like ours
  • ate the hero image, had to readd it as "Server thumbnail"
  • javascript is now required
  • mobile web ui uses horizontal space for all the tabs for some reason
  • ui_header appears as early as 1175px width (or ~170% zoom on a 1920x1080 screen) which is still wide enough for 3 columns on the advanced ui
  • join date has no reason to be there on the profile screen (vanilla only)
  • inconsistent spacing of post options (vanilla only)
  • clicking on a pfp now opens it in the lightbox which is fine but it would be nice if "view full profile" was moved to the top of the bio
  • no way to see image descriptions in mobile ui (though this i think is not a new issue)
  • "i don't like it" in 3.5 report ui is the first option and doesn't actually send a report (already removed by glitchsoc)
  • no way to change favicon in a way that sticks except at build time apparently? unsure if the rake task can be used

also seeing people say that clicking timestamps/opening in new tab doesn't actually take you to the full context on the other instance, CNR on glitchsoc and can't be bothered to swap to vanilla ui
