New mastodon improves experience of pinned posts (side scrolling instead of vertical so you can more easily get to the posts) blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/…
BUT it still maxes at 5.
BOTH of these problems would be solved trivially in a way that required NO changes to mobile clients OR web UI if they simply allowed more characters in a post.
One long effing pinned post. Most clients already have a "more" link / button when a post is "too long"

"#Mozilla's management is a #bug, not a #feature"
"#Dominance does not equal #importance, nor is dominance the same as #relevance. The #snag at Mozilla is a #management layer that doesn't appear to understand what works for its #product nor which parts of it matter most to users."
"Don't #blame the #app, and don't even blame the #programmers. That is, the ones who still have #jobs, after years of #engineer #layoffs. Don't even blame the whole #organization – blame the #management. Steven himself has pointed this out before, early in 2024. So have I. In 2023, I said that Mozilla was asleep at the wheel."

"Support for verifying remote quotes according to FEP-044f and displaying them in the Web UI has been implemented.
Quoting other people is not implemented yet, and it is currently not possible to mark your own posts as allowing quotes. However, a new “Who can quote” setting has been added to the “Posting defaults” section of the user settings. This setting allows you to set a default that will be used for new posts made on Mastodon 4.5 and newer, when quote posts will be fully implemented."

no, there IS quote permissions on threads. The issue lies in the fact that quoting = linking. Don't have permission to quote? Don't have permission to link.
We'll have to see how Mastodon does it when 4.5 comes out.🤷♂️

in reply to Sky.Bit • • •The video features a close-up of a cat with a distinct tabby pattern, including shades of brown, black, and white, with a white chest. The cat is being gently held by a human hand, which is visible in the lower part of the frame. Overlaid on the image is a blue wireframe model, which outlines the cat's features, including its head, ears, eyes, nose, and body, providing a 3D geometric representation. The wireframe is composed of numerous straight lines and polygons, creating a digital, skeletal appearance. The background is slightly blurred, suggesting an indoor setting with a computer monitor and other objects, though they are not the focus. The text "vcollide_wireframe 1" is displayed at the top of the frame, indicating the name of the wireframe model. The video maintains a consistent focus on the cat and the wireframe, with no significant changes in the cat's position or the environment.
