Coming soon to Catodon, something that was asked for since the Firefish days, but was never implemented: .HEIC image format support

At first I removed the features I didn't want only from the UI, as it was safer, but now I feel more comfortable with my tools and I did a deep removal of Chat, Reversi, Bubble Game and Play. The rest of the features that I have removed, like Channels, are not worth the hassle and would give no […]

Screenshot of Catodon's new sorting options for viewing your Following and Followers list
Screenshot from Catodon showing the new Bookmarks page, where you can also bookmark users and RSS posts
Latest from the Catodon lab: A new way to view Followers/Following, with many sorting options (for other users the options are alphabetical by name and username only, for your profile you can also sort based on when the connection was made and when each user […]

Some more changes, this time in user profile pages:
- Only tabs that have content are visible when you look at other users' profiles
- "Raw" tab is only visible to admins and moderators - no reason for regular users to get all that technical information
- "Activity" tab is only visible to your […]

Also made some improvements in the Accounts timeline - now it checks for new posts every 60 seconds, and rearranges the accounts column accordingly. This might not sound ideal if you want to catch up with a lot of accounts and take your time, because accounts you haven't reached yet will be […]

Alright, so in Catodon we have already implemented hashtags and word follows in the Home timeline, GIF integration, a chat-like DM feature... wanna know what's next?
An RSS reader, right inside your timelines. Give me a few days.

@evan@cosocial.ca hi Evan, sorry for tagging you publicly but I think others might be interested in this. Tags.pub is a great idea, but I can't follow accounts from tags.pub from Catodon/Sharkey (and I guess Misskey too, since they are forks of that). The follow request gets stuck at pending […]

Alright, now that the DM page is up, I just started working on the next big feature I want to add for 26.04 - more in a few days 😁

Screenshot of Catodon's Direct messages page
One of the biggest complaints I read from new Fediverse users, is "Wait, you don't have DMs here?". But the "specified users" visibility is exactly that - they're just not handled as DMs, but as plain posts. But it doesn't have to be like this.
I just deployed […]

Is there any reason to always see the "Mark all notifications as read" button, even when there are no unread notifications, besides cluttering the UI? Just made it appear only when unread notifications are over zero. Will deploy later today on catodon.rocks, along with the dedicated Direct […]

Screenshot of a collapsed thread in Catodon
Here's the latest feature in Catodon's develop, for the upcoming 26.04 release - another suggestion by @germ !
As you may know, Catodon has Firefish's "threads in timeline" feature, which greatly declutters timelines for threads (instead of seeing […]

So today @germ hit me up with a suggestion to improve the Search page, and I did make a few changes:
-Removed the "Lookup" tab - initially I had moved this from the Navigation bar, where it was a separate item, into "Search" as a tab, but I realized it's not needed at all, since Search already […]

Alright, back to development, en route for Catodon 26.04! I've already started working on a Direct messages page, but I took a break today and tackled other unrelated issues on my list. First of all, "preview post" now works correctly, in all (or most) cases! External URL previews are displayed […]

OK, hope this goes well 😅 - first time doing this, so please don't be harsh if anything goes wrong. I've done all the testing I could, but if you see any bugs, please just let me know. If needed, I'll do a follow-up hotfix release.
So, what else can I say? A few months ago I thought Catodon was […]

Just fixed a Misskey bug that has annoyed me since I came to fedi on 2022, where reposts from users you have blocked appear in your timeline, leaving you wondering why would you see a post from them after a block.

Catodon 26.03 will probably be released tomorrow! In the meantime, I've been working on a "Direct messages" page for the next release, and it's coming along nicely. As soon as 26.03 is released, I'll merge the DM page into develop and update catodon.rocks for testing and feedback.

Added a few more minor things tonight: Posts can "open in a new tab" (also with ctrl+left click), and if you're having issues with the reactions/emoji picker being visible on hover, right-clicking the Like button will stabilize the emoji picker until you close it. Also added a tooltip to the […]

Alright, I did some bug fixes, I think that covers all bug reports we've had so far. I also added a little extra: When you are viewing other timelines and a new post comes to Home, the Home timeline changes color, as a subtle indicator that new posts have arrived.
Someone also asked for bigger […]

Alright, correct me if I'm wrong but I think that Catodon must be the first Misskey fork where you can follow hashtags - and even more!
You can set up Custom feeds (Antennas) to "listen" to hashtags, but also for words and for word combinations. And you can now merge the results of your Custom […]

Alright, I'm almost done with all of the bug reports I've received so far for RC1. Many notification fixes. Added some stuff as well: In the detailed post view, now the reactions tab has an "All" default tab that shows all reactions together. Also, in grouped notifications for reactions, now "x […]

Aftermath of the day: fixed the two most serious bugs found in RC1 so far, with great help from @lenko@masto.es and @jsalvador . Tomorrow it's more minor issues. If nothing new comes up in the next few days, a stable release for 26.03 should be close. Until then, use the latest develop if you […]

Catodon navigation bar
Sharkey navigation bar
Another big difference between Catodon and Sharkey is how much the navigation bar has been decluttered. From 25 options, down to 10! And it's not only because of the removed features: Many options of the navigation bar moved to other, more appropriate places […]

Another difference in Catodon, compared to Sharkey, is that we replaced the font. The Lexend font that Sharkey uses is very nice and striking, but only supports languages with latin characters. So in our greek server the difference between english and greek letters was too obvious.
In Catodon I […]

Now that you can actually try it, I think I can start talking a little more about Catodon's features. The timelines are 5:
First of all there's obviously Home (which has more timeline filters - you can now switch between following and mutual followers). You can also choose if you want to see […]

The time has come and I'm beyond excited 😁
We just opened registrations on catodon.rocks.
I know that Catodon created a lot of expectations when Firefish fell apart, and I'm sure many of you were disappointed to see it not going anywhere for a long time. This time I am doing it on my own, so […]

Σε περίπτωση που δεν το καταλάβατε, το AI πέρα από τις δουλειές, θα μας πάρει και τις εθελοντικές εργασίες.
Μπράβο στον @panos για τη δουλειά που έχει ρίξει τις τελευταίες βδομάδες για το #Catodon (fork του #Sharkey). Πλέον μιλάμε για μια ανέλπιστη αναβάθμιση και ίσως την πλατφόρμα που […]

That's it, I've practically finished with the first release of Catodon, I want to go through a few details later today, then I'll start setting up a public server so that you can all see what I've been working on non-stop for the past couple of months. I'm extremely happy with the result and I […]
