Mastodon v4.4.0 is out. I will be doing some testing on this version before installing the upgrade on Masto.host.

I am estimating the installation for tomorrow morning (UTC).

You can view the changelog here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.0

If you have any questions, please let me know.

We're aware of an issue with emails not being sent from https://vote.fosstodon.org.

The smtp service that the Fider instance uses has set a 100 message per-day limit on the smtp agent until it's reviewed for full use by their team, and we're waiting for that review to complete.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience.

We've launched a feedback platform, https://vote.fosstodon.org! More info here:
