📬 Trunk & Tidbits for September 2026 is now out!

Our monthly blog post series is there to showcase what we worked on last month.

A lot happened last month in preparation of our upcoming Mastodon 5.0 release. We also merged an optimisation to account deletion federation (which requires signed fetches for accounts), a few improvements to the moderation panel and to our FASP integration.
