We’re excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Here’s a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!) https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/mastodon-4.5

Mastodon 4.5 brings Quote Post authoring features to everyone. Note that you can manage whether or how your posts are quoted by others, both globally on the new Posting Defaults page, and individually on specific posts. You can also revoke the use of a post. We wrote about this in more detail a few weeks ago: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/introducing-quote-posts/

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

Server owners can do more to manage and showcase their community. Mastodon 4.5 has settings to define the visibility of different feeds (timelines), and also the ability to set the default landing page to the local feed. There are also new tools for restricting problematic usernames, and improvements in the moderation interface.

Among many tweaks, and some polishing of the web interface, Mastodon 4.5 also now supports the use of native emoji 🎁

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/115503006012708370We recommend that server owners update their Mastodon installations to bring these improvements to their communities as soon as they can. There are a lot of great updates, now ready for everyone.

@Mastodon While I appreciate the new features, the UX feels like a massive regression to me. Unfortunately mastodon doesn't support different default settings for visiblity of posts (public) and replies (unlisted), and with the new popup dialogue instead of the drop down it takes 3 clicks to change the visibility, plus mouse movement and aiming :(

@Mastodon does bumping character limit still needs changing same files as previously or did it changed between 4.5 and previous version?Is there any plan on making it configurable?

@Mastodon Oh boy. I'd been wondering, 'When will my Mastodon experience become more like hanging out with the hordes of kids and immature adults on Facebook?' We truly do live in marvelous times.

@Mastodon 💛 so excited for the quote posts feature as an affordance. It'll allow more fun & attract more users. To normalize the experience of social media with no ads & no data mining from giant corps FAANG, we need features like this & more!

@Mastodon @Ivory had a workaround for ages, but it's really nice to see quotes implemented as an official feature.

@Mastodon Is this just a change in the web client to fetch the extra replies? Or can other clients, eg @pachli on Android, benefit from this change as well when connected to servers running v4.5?

@Mastodon Yeah, that is one of the biggest problems i have. Like the server i'm on loads like 30% of the answers.It will be sad though when my bubble breaks and i start to see all the people i'm not friends with ^^

@Mastodon while that is a nice feature, you just turned boosting from a 1 click to a 2 click processyou may want to make the choice a mouseover so there is only 1 click needed to boost

@Mastodon Am I the only one who finds the addition of quoting ON THE BOOST BUTTON?!? both annoying and slightly insane.It is another type of reply - so obviously it should be on the reply button!Now I have to click twice as much to boost something while browsing, and if I decide to reply with quote I have to NOT click the reply button but click the boost button... what?!?

@Mastodon Good stuff. Been using quote posts in Ivory for a while, glad it’s native now though.One MAJOR request is to figure out how to ensure pictures and video get passed on 100% of the time. I still get 1/4 of the pictures and videos as blank images and video containers with no way to view the content. Mastodon will never go mass till that’s fixed. I understand why it does that, but normal users only see it as not working.

@Mastodon i like the new feature. But i dislike the the fact that boosting stuff is a 2 step action now.Please consider adding 2 one click buttons on the UI.( Unless you want to reduce the boosting quota in general. )
