#Mastodon is getting a new look in our upcoming 5.0 release.
We wrote a bit more about our design process and how we approach community input. If you’re on mastodon.social you will see the new design tomorrow, on Tuesday. We rely on your feedback!

@landelare @Mastodon When do you think was the last time?
@Mastodon "We’re headed towards more roundness to invite a friendlier brand tone, and to make Mastodon feel more native within modern browsers (most of which have adopted a rounded aesthetic)."
Oh, FFS, first it's Firefox that have fallen for this and now its Mastodon.
Maybe we need alt. themes for both.
@Mastodon @dansup Wow. @velvetshadow t’as vu ça ? Ça a l’air super clean !
et hâte de voir le rendu en dark mode !
@velvetshadow @raph @Mastodon On a testé le composer dans le coin en bas à droite (à la gmail), les gens se sont plaints (trop loin du bouton). En modale, les gens se sont plaints (pas possible de browse en même temps). Donc nouvelle tentative, pour voir ce que ça donne. Ce qui est certain est qu’il doit être à un endroit qui a plus de place disponible par rapport à avant.
@Mastodon Thank you for finally addressing this issue, I think calling them "likes" and using a heart icon is way nicer, and most people nowdays will understand it way better!
@Mastodon Love this design, so clean and modern, great work ✨
@Mastodon great developments!
I have one request, can you please adjust this heading? Especially the second word. Thanks.
Clarity trumps convenience
@mimi @mbootsman @Mastodon I’m guessing it’s because of the verb “trumps”.
We didn’t want to require you to have a GitHub profile to report issues or suggest ideas, so starting now you can do it on our new community forum.
You can also vote for other people’s ideas to keep things manageable. It’s the main place we’ll be looking for feedback!
@Mastodon Or you could... look at your replies... on your social media site... that you run.
You know.
So we don't need to sign up for yet another site? Which doesn't even say it's a different login? It has the mastodon logo in the corner, ffs!
@Mastodon i hate the new version! 😂
Thanks for the feedback forum! :)
@Mastodon But we need to sign up for an account on Discourse to do it?
@Mastodon Thank you for the no-Github and for the discourse :-)
@Mastodon Now how about you stop trying to police the way people use the word mastodon like the fucking ministry of truth?
@Mastodon Thank you. I struggled with GitHub. Much nicer to have a human-friendly forum to report problems and provide feedback.
Already made my first UX feedback post.
@Mastodon So, why don't you use ActivityPub forums Lemmy?
@Mastodon amazing! Why not just a classic mailing list?
@Mastodon Great thx. Also thx to @codinghorror & team for providing that excellent piece of software.
@Mastodon Thanks for being inclusive with the non-techies with that community!
@Mastodon Any chance it would be possible to add logging in/signing up with a Mastodon/Fediverse account instead of having to create yet another one?
@Mastodon The kind of "detail" I do appreciate. Thank you !!!
@Mastodon
Did you guys stop using Zulip or are you keeping it for team coordination?
@tuneintodetuned @Mastodon We still use Zulip internally, but figured out that Discourse would be a better platform to engage with the broader community
@renchap @tuneintodetuned @Mastodon Could you enable AP plugin there? We did that on SocialHub: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/about
@Mastodon "We didn’t want to require you to have a GitHub profile"
Thank you. I don't think I'm technically-illiterate, but I still can't understand how that site works.
@Mastodon I like the overall design. But I don't like the use of color. Mastodon only has versions of violet in its' color scheme. To me it's lacking secondary colors for accents and to really show a hierarchy of elements. Although I don't realy like the violet as it makes everything look sad, I accept that it is the established color for mastodon. But there should be complementary secondary colors that are not just a variation of the primary color. And making the base-color freely definable doesn't make it better.
I am not a designer, but it could look far more friendly and happy with a touch more color.
