       We’re ready to show you a new feature coming in Mastodon 4.6 - Collections. These are a way for people on Mastodon to curate and share bundles of accounts that they’d recommend to others, to help find connections and grow their network more quickly.

       The initial release will be a starting point, while we learn from your feedback. The early focus is on creating Collections, with search and additional discovery options to come later. There are a few choices we’ve made (on size, following, etc) that we expect to revisit.

       In a new blog post, @imanijoy provides a deeper dive into the design process for Collections, and explains what we’ve included (and things that are left out) for the first release. We’ll be enabling this feature on mastodon.social next week, and rolling it out more widely in Mastodon 4.6 very soon. We’re excited to hear what you think! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/designing-collections/

       @sarvo @Mastodon lol you know what these are going to be reused to share fediblock at the user-level instead of admins doing it at the server/instance level

       @Mastodon Will accounts from servers that aren't on 4.6 be able to be included in Collections? If not, I'd be concerned that if this takes off it's going to have the effect of concentrating connections and attention on accounts on bleeding-edge servers. https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116374923553276051

       @maxleibman @Mastodon No, the server the account is on has to support the feature. This is a technical constraint--otherwise no opt-in/out mechanism would be possible. But the network tends to upgrade to new releases pretty quickly.
