I find the quote posts quite cringe, but disabling them doesn't seem possible out of the box. Anyway, incoming quote posts should render correctly now. The same goes for custom emoji reactions - as were a thing on other instances for some time now, you might have previously received a few. You should be able to find them when scrolling through your posts... or not, I'm not sure.
As for the frontend tweaks... I can't put my finger on it, but some things feel off. I think that most links in the default theme have turned cyan - except for the sidebar, where they are black now. We'll probably get used to it as always.
Incidentally, some 12 GB of disk space got freed when running database migrations after the update. I don't know how, I'd rather not know, but it should prevent most random hours-long crashes for a few weeks or months.
Sorry for putting this off for months, and as always, please let me know if you find some new bugs. I know we already had some bugs around following people on other instances, I wonder if that's going to be fixed now.
As my next act, I'll probably add a bunch of celebratory emoji. I've been bookmarking posts with cool emoji for months now, they're in my sights.
Then there's going to be a small revision of the rules. The ones we have now have been in effect since the beginning, and in order to grow, they'll need to be less vague. They're still the same in spirit and if you didn't get warned/banned yet, you're most likely safe, I just wanted to clarify some edge cases.I guess that's it. Good night!
