#vael — Public Fediverse posts

VAEL (Austràlia) presenta nou single: "Rile" #Vael #PostBlack #FuneralDoomMetal #Març2025 #Austràlia #NouSingle #Metall #Metal #MúsicaMetal #MetalMusic

Most of the known styling issues with the #vael custom theme have been updated/fixed for v4.2.0.

There's tons of UI updates, new features with search, profiles, privacy settings, etc.

Please let me know if I missed something or you have any questions!

See the full changelog at: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0

Updated to Mastodon v4.1.9.

Also installed Elasticsearch, which enables basic full-text search on the #vael instance.

The imminent v4.2.0 release will feature some expansion/improvements to this feature, including per-post opt-in, to give you better control of what (if any) of your content is fully searchable. It should also permit searching user profile/bio content.

Perhaps another nudge to evaluate/setup a #Lemmy instance for #vael.

The update to the v4.1.1 Mastodon release is completed. #vael

I've had a "join or create a Mastodon instance" reminder in my TODO's for at least half a year now.

The sale of Twitter this week gave that task some additional energy.

So here's the first iteration of #vael, an instance focused on artists, musicians, devs, & other like-minded creatives. Likely just myself for now, though I'd like to open it up to a relatively small number of those who relate with our stated values, and build a little "local" community in addition to a federated one.
