Mastodon 5 UI is quite nice on phone, and clean on laptop (whether it's too clean in its default state is up for debate) Only question is, if Message is now first class element, why still show private mention post in Following timeline?

NeoDB now works in #KOReader as a plugin. Now you can rate, comment, quote, make notes and crosspost to Mastodon/Bluesky without leaving your e-reader. https://github.com/neodb-social/neodb.koplugin

StoryGraph import was enhanced so please give it a second chance if your first import wasn’t great. Reading progress is available so now you can track and make notes at the same time. Also please add a passkey if you have only one login method. Proof of work verification was added to login page due to growing spammers. Email sending is unblocked now but we all know it’s not the end.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@neodb/116862618443389123 planning for this weekend: relay bridge.neodb.net into relay.neodb.net so all participated NeoDB instances will get this without extra configuration.

🦋 ➡ 🧩 https://bridge.neodb.net started an experiment to bridge reviews from Atmosphere (popfeed.social for now) to #NeoDB in Fediverse (eggplant.place for now) this works similarly to @snarfed.org 's fed.brid.gy, but will be focusing on culture review related lexicons. still quite early stage so expect some issues. feel free to opt-out your atproto id if you prefer not get bridged. this will be one-directional from atproto to ap, so nothing to worry if you are fedi only.

Claim a podcast in NeoDB: if you own a Podcast and have a Fediverse account, add to your site and add link to your site in your podcast RSS. With this setup, you can claim your podcast in NeoDB, and the podcast page in NeoDB will be shown as verified. This is a manual process for now, but we will make it fully automated soon just like green check in Mastodon. Some podcasts already have both, so they will get verified automatically.

Now you can: 📚 import reading list archive from StoryGraph, along with Goodreads which has been supported for a while. 🎶 import and preview album links from YouTube Music. Note: StoryGraph exports is poor on metadata, so some books without ISBN or GoogleBook match may require manual import. YT album link must be in format of https://music&lt;dot&gt;youtube&lt;dot&gt;com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_&lt;id&gt; . Other type of playlists won’t work.

there&#39;s no better day than Apr 1st to say neodb properly displays blobcats now :blobcattea: still not complete but quote is somewhat supported (some thought about the protocol but probably said by others already) also Mastodon client like @IceCubesApp and @elk now works better, as conversation API is added to neodb (one time backfill migration recommended: https://github.com/neodb-social/neodb/releases ) lastly, there are a few security fixes recently, so please upgrade once you get...
