I love the ability to follow hashtags and get the results in the home stream. Friendica has that option for many years but for me it’s a very welcome feature.

BRING BACK THE TOOT

They did away with the toot? I still say “tooting”…

Rochko said at the time he was unaware of the connotation. “Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon’s web app started out with ‘Publish’. In 2016, a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon’s Patreon forever if I changed the button to say ‘Toot’ instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning,” Rochko said in a post last May.

The web interface also looks slightly different, matching the project’s current purple logo and color scheme, and changing the “Toot” button to “Publish.”
