  1. 🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.1rc1 (nightly) is out. This is the first release since the 4.0.0 stable rewrite in June, and it collects the fixes made since.

    The nightly release follows Mastodon main branch (4.8.0-alpha.1). If you are on 4.6.0 stable or 4.7.0, please stay on 4.0.0.

    Changelog:
    - The More icon is back in the navigation, after upstream made the Icon id optional
    - Redesigned the footer under an opened image: smaller icons, readable counters, round hovers, white boost glyph, narrower overlay
    - Lists no longer overlap the trends section on short viewports
    - Account badges have spacing, so Muted is not flush against a role badge
    - Navigation polish: hover pills are not clipped, the compact font below 1080px sticks, the mobile bar sits above the slideout pane, the left navigation scrolls at high zoom
    - The install script preserves other installed themes instead of rebuilding themes.yml

  6. @spiezmaestro Sorry about that. The install script was originally built for vanilla Mastodon instances without any additional themes, so I didn't realize it might conflict with other theme installation workflows. Could you please open a GitHub issue for it? I use that as my to-do list for Mastodon Bird UI, and I already have a lot on my plate. Thanks! @matt_birchler

  11. @antti Yes! It's all CSS variables, override the background tokens, easiest via Custom CSS, pasted after the Bird UI CSS so it wins). The main one is --color-bg-primary (the page and columns). For a fully black UI, also set the other neutral surfaces:

    :root {
    --color-bg: #000;
    --color-bg-primary: #000;
    --color-bg-ambient: #000;
    --color-bg-elevated: #000;
    --color-bg-overlay: #000;
    /* dropdowns, modals */
    --color-bg-secondary-base: #000;
    --color-bg-secondary-solid: #000;
    }

    Two notes: subtle lift on the dark background). Leave them for a bit of depth, or set them to transparent if you want totally flat black.

    - Don't touch the --color-bg-brand/error/warning/success tokens, those are accent colors, not surfaces.

    Tip: the "accessible" variant already ships a black background (--color-bg-primary: #000), so it's a good reference if you want to see which tokens go dark.

  16. RE: mementomori.social/@rolle/1167

    A small request for everyone using Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0, no matter how you installed it: if something looks broken or off, please report it along with your version details (which Mastodon version you are running, which version of Mastodon Bird UI you built, and how you built it, Custom CSS or SCSS in your Mastodon fork).

    Several post-launch fixes have already been made thanks to people reporting issues, and I can only fix what I know about. Bug reports genuinely make the theme better for everyone: github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mas

    For example, I just fixed a bug where the profile description lost the spacing below it (no margin after the bio). If you noticed that, grab the latest 4.0.0 and it’s fixed.

  21. Quick heads-up for Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 Custom CSS users: I noticed that the build was only compiling the main mastodon-bird-ui.css file, which left the variant files (light, stars, accessible, accessible-plus) outdated, and the light version wasn't compiling at all. It's now fixed, and all five files are rebuilt and up to date in 4.0.0. I personally use a Mastodon fork with SCSS, so I accidentally overlooked this.

    If you're using one of the variants through Custom CSS, re-copy it from dist/: github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mas

    If you're using the plain mastodon-bird-ui.css, it was always fine and needs no changes. Sorry for the mix-up!

  26. :skull360: We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.7.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2026-06-19, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0. Two big milestones this round: Mastodon 4.6.0 officially shipped as stable on 17.6.2026, and our own Mastodon Bird UI theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release. We're already running the first nightly of the next cycle, v4.7.0-alpha.1 (today's version).

    This update includes today's latest daily build with 56 new commits from upstream since our 13.6.2026 build (mementomods-2026-06-13).

    What's new in Mastodon core, these are the changes the Mastodon Team have introduced in the latest nightly version we are running:

    ✨️ New features

    - Mastodon 4.6.0 is officially out. After a long alpha, beta, and RC run, version 4.6 was released as stable on June 17, 2026, bringing Collections, redesigned profiles, email subscriptions, custom filter import and export, and everything else we've been previewing throughout the cycle. Naturally, we've been testing these features over the past few months already.

    🔧 Fixes & improvements

    - List navigation hotkeys now use Alt + PageUp and Alt + PageDown, the modifier was added so they no longer clash with normal page scrolling.
    - Editing a media attachment twice without submitting in between now works.
    - The audio player no longer errors out in Safari's Lockdown Mode.
    - Hovercards now show up properly in the compose column.
    - The report modal heading can now be translated correctly in every language.

    ♿ Accessibility

    - Another round of web UI accessibility fixes landed as part of the final 4.6.0 polish.

    📦 Dependency updates

    - This round was mostly the 4.6.0 release finalisation, so only minor dependency bumps came with it.

    🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 (stable)

    Our theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release this round, the full modular rewrite built for Mastodon 4.6.0 and forward-compatible with 4.7.0-alpha.1. The big visible change for you is our brand new native favourite animation:

    - Favourites now use a hand-rebuilt SVG burst animation instead of the old rotating sprite, recreated frame by frame in the classic Twitter style.
    - There are two variants, a heart (shown by default) and a star. You can switch between them in Preferences, Appearance with the "use stars" toggle.
    - The favourite counter and hover colour now match the icon, gold for the star and pink for the heart.
    - The action-bar hover glow now sits centred on each icon (favourite, reply and boost) instead of drifting towards the counter number.
    - Collection preview cards are now indented in feeds so they line up with the post content.
    - Fixed the white, unreadable dropdown background on the settings pages (the native select popup).
    - Fixed the boost and reply prepend line indentation that regressed after a Mastodon profile change

    Source code:

    As always, if you notice anything unusual or buggy, please reach out to me or any of the admins. Enjoy your time here, and feel free to message me with any questions or thoughts. :bunhdheart:

    If anything feels off, please let us know!

    - Editing a media attachment twice without submitting in between now works.
    - The audio player no longer errors out in Safari's Lockdown Mode.
    - Hovercards now show up properly in the compose column.
    - The report modal heading can now be translated correctly in every language.

    ♿ Accessibility

    - Another round of web UI accessibility fixes landed as part of the final 4.6.0 polish.

    📦 Dependency updates

    - This round was mostly the 4.6.0 release finalisation, so only minor dependency bumps came with it.

    🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 (stable)

    Our theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release this round, the full modular rewrite built for Mastodon 4.6.0 and forward-compatible with 4.7.0-alpha.1. The big visible change for you is our brand new native favourite animation:

    - Favourites now use a hand-rebuilt SVG burst animation instead of the old rotating sprite, recreated frame by frame in the classic Twitter style.
    - There are two variants, a heart (shown by default) and a star. You can switch between them in Preferences, Appearance with the "use stars" toggle.
    - The favourite counter and hover colour now match the icon, gold for the star and pink for the heart.
    - The action-bar hover glow now sits centred on each icon (favourite, reply and boost) instead of drifting towards the counter number.
    - Collection preview cards are now indented in feeds so they line up with the post content.
    - Fixed the white, unreadable dropdown background on the settings pages (the native select popup).
    - Fixed the boost and reply prepend line indentation that regressed after a Mastodon profile change

  29. :skull360: We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.7.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2026-06-19, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0. Two big milestones this round: Mastodon 4.6.0 officially shipped as stable on 17.6.2026, and our own Mastodon Bird UI theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release. We're already running the first nightly of the next cycle, v4.7.0-alpha.1 (today's version).

    This update includes today's latest daily build with 56 new commits from upstream since our 13.6.2026 build (mementomods-2026-06-13).

    What's new in Mastodon core, these are the changes the Mastodon Team have introduced in the latest nightly version we are running:

    ✨️ New features

    - Mastodon 4.6.0 is officially out. After a long alpha, beta, and RC run, version 4.6 was released as stable on June 17, 2026, bringing Collections, redesigned profiles, email subscriptions, custom filter import and export, and everything else we've been previewing throughout the cycle. Naturally, we've been testing these features over the past few months already.

  31. I see Mastodon 4.6.0 was released just a few hours ago, and I'm already getting questions from Mastodon admins. Just a heads-up for Mastodon Bird UI users and admins who have the UI installed: the main branch (stable for 4.5.0) is NOT compatible with Mastodon 4.6.0. The nightly version has been tested with 4.6.0-rc.1, but not yet confirmed for 4.6.0 stable. It should work though, since rc.1, which it was tested with, is only 35 commits behind.

    If you are updating your instance now and want Mastodon Bird UI to work, you should use the nightly branch and preferably the official install script we provide for forks. A LOT of the UI has changed, including the new auto color scheme and contrast modes outside of the theme, as well as the major modularization work we did this spring while preparing for 4.6.0.

    Custom CSS users should use the CSS files under dist/.

    Let me know if you run into any issues with the nightly branch rc-version and I'll fix them soon. Final stable testing is coming at the latest this upcoming weekend.

  41. Experimenting with new native SVGs to bring into Mastodon core. Instead of the CSS hacks we use in the Mastodon Bird UI, these SVGs provide a more natural solution.

    The CSS sprite-based ones are fine and serve their purpose as a theme layered over Mastodon, but I miss a more native approach for the large numbers we have in the posts in our Mastodon fork. The Mastodon team can later decide whether to use these animations, as they will be built against the main branch.

    What can I say, I like appealing micro-integrations.

  46. :skull360: We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-beta.1+mementomods-2026-06-07, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly). Yes, beta, Mastodon has officially crossed from alpha into beta on the road to 4.6.

    This update includes today's latest daily build with 119 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-05-26.

    What's new in Mastodon core - these are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:

    ✨️ New features

    - Mastodon hit v4.6.0-beta.1, the version we've been chasing through the alpha cycle has crossed into beta, signalling the upstream 4.6 release is getting close
    - Collections is in beta! You can now use them on Mementomori.social
    - Export Custom Filters, you can finally back up or migrate your filter rules
    - A new direct link from Privacy and reach settings to your profile editor saves a click
    - Rule acceptance during signup is now a form (better keyboard and assistive tech support)
    - Vertical text editing in the alt text editor for languages that write top-to-bottom
    - Three new languages in the languages helper: Lazuri, Mingrelian, and Ottoman Turkish
    - "Hidden account" message is less misleading when you visit a profile you can't see
    - Several internal refactors (BundleColumnError ported to TypeScript, copy-to-clipboard extracted into a hook) that should make future patches smoother

    🔧 Fixes & improvements

    - Pile of Collections fixes: editor no longer lets you add the same account twice, ValidationError when loading many collections at once is gone, missing null check when importing collections from notifications, and an "about page" error when selecting a non-default Rules language
    - Custom filter export had a wrongly-named param
    - Profile API documentation link in CHANGELOG corrected
    - "Change thumbnail" button no longer shows when it shouldn't
    - Server rules and the custom closed-registrations message no longer break
    - Custom emoji formatting in usernames inside the `EmptyState` component fixed
    - Trending links: author name spacing tightened
    - Advanced UI navigation overflow issue fixed
    - Signature verification handles invalid keys gracefully
    - Container builds no longer fail when the repo name has uppercase characters
    - Blocked domains no longer linger in the Elasticsearch InstancesIndex after being unblocked
    - Admin Mailer trends mail rendering fixed
    - Stylesheet imports are now recursive

    ♿ Accessibility

    - New `PageUp` and `PageDown` hotkeys for list navigation
    - Post/feed hotkey navigation made more robust
    - Differentiated accessible labels for About links in the footer

    📦 Dependency updates

    - Vite 8.0.16, Yarn 4.16.0, Sass 1.100.0, Sidekiq 8.1.6, ioredis 5.11.0, ws 8.21.0, axios 1.17.0, react-redux 9.3.0, @reduxjs/toolkit 2.12.0, pg 8.21.0, plus a security update for `@vitest/browser` and many smaller bumps

    🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)

    This release adds Bird UI styling for the now-live Collections feature:

    - Collections nav icon renders again (it was hidden by Bird UI's broad column-link icon-path reset)
    - "Follows you" badge in account list items (collections lists, follower lists) uses the same dark pill style as in profiles
    - Verified link badge in account list items mirrors the profile field verified style: Bird UI's tick icon and accent link color in place of the green gradient SVG
    - All badges in account list items drop the core 4px padding so they sit flush in the row

    Plus navigation polish:

    - Notifications now sits in the second slot of the side navigation menu, right after Home
    - Trends heading no longer renders a stray bottom border

    🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)

    This release adds Bird UI styling for the now-live Collections feature:

    - Collections nav icon renders again (it was hidden by Bird UI's broad column-link icon-path reset)
    - "Follows you" badge in account list items (collections lists, follower lists) uses the same dark pill style as in profiles
    - Verified link badge in account list items mirrors the profile field verified style: Bird UI's tick icon and accent link color in place of the green gradient SVG
    - All badges in account list items drop the core 4px padding so they sit flush in the row

    Plus navigation polish:

    - Notifications now sits in the second slot of the side navigation menu, right after Home
    - Trends heading no longer renders a stray bottom border
