So, I just tested it on mastodon.social (with version 4.3.0. already active) and the next big update fixes the preview-bug cutting the URL-parameter. That's very good, but it takes sooo long, to get the update.
Is there any news on the timetable @renchap @Gargron? I raised this issue in october, which was like so long ago
https://social.heise.de/@mho/111184033535443887
Long story short, when will #Mastodon 4.3.0. roll out?
But now it comes: I just now realized, that people on mastodon.social already see the whole URL in the preview-cards from @heiseonline. That means, that for about a fourth of our followers (https://social.heise.de/@mho/111450312122480440) we see, when they click on them.
If I extrapolate from the notable uptick in january, it seems to show, that #Mastodon brings in as much #traffic as #X / #Twitter. Can't wait to prove that, when 4.3.0. rolls out.
@renchap
Thanks for the info, and sorry for always coming back to this.
I don't think, that you would recommend switching on the nightly-update fpr social.heise.de, or do you? After all, the biggest instance runs on it.
@mho I would not advise it right now, as it requires you to follow the latest commits to ensure there are no special migration steps required.
But once you release 4.3.0-beta1 it should be all good to switch to it.
