Okay, v1.1.0 is coming out tomorrow! There are so many changes (and I will explain them all in the release notes) but I think I am most happy with the tweaks to the Mastodon v4 mobile layout.

* Removed giant header
* Retractable right hand menu (click the top right hamburger icon)
* Reduced margins overall for a more compact layout

Attached pics: before, after, and after with retracted menu. Note you see a whole extra post in the 'after' screenshot due to all the removed elements.

Also this means that everyone on a brand new post-Nov-1 server that runs Mastodon 4.0.2 has the option to move to Hometown for their software and get that sweet local-only posting and more :)

github.com/hometown-fork/homet

Or, uh, at least bug their admin or web host about it

@darius Excite! Not many updates that are personally beneficial to me (last I checked 1+ week ago), but great to see those kind of features being pushed out. :loved_cat:

@darius this might be reason enough to start a server, mastodon’s default paragraph spacing (and that in Metatext which I’m using rn) is a choice only open-source developers could love

@darius This may be a stupid question, but this is not the default colour scheme, right? (As in, you’re doing something custom in css for friend camp, right?)

@darius interesting! i definitely like that the sidebar can be hidden, but i'm not sure about the reflow, also not sure about putting even more items in it!

in addition, you don't have log-in/sign-in buttons anymore in mobile view, which i think might be an issue

@darius gosh, this is fantastic. Any advice for someone interested in spinning up a hometown for ~15-20 users?
