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.
