The Sunny Gardener - October 2025
– Starfish by @chiuki – open the thread to see the rest of the month!
Mastodon Updates
There were several increasingly small Mastodon updates this month, v4.4.6, v4.4.7, and v4.4.8, fixing some issues with security, quote posts, and regressions.
The main line version of Mastodon currently has the ability to display quote posts, but the ability to create them will likely be released in the new year, and several release candidates have already been published.
Around The Garden
Not much server news this month, but lots of great posts, so here are a couple more!

As always, thank you to everyone that has donated on ko-fi! There’s no obligation or expectation that you donate in order to use the server, and I’m still able to cover any shortfall myself if needed.
