We’re also looking ahead to what comes next. In another blog post published today, we introduced Mastodon’s new leadership team. Our Executive Director is Felix Hlatky (formerly, CFO of Mastodon gGmbH), who has already represented Mastodon on international stages.

We also shared an organisational update, and a fundraising update, in that blog post.

We're excited to share the results from Mastodon's first #DiscoveryWeek!

In case you missed it, earlier this year our Head of Design Imani Joy arranged a week of workshops and surveys to get to know you, learn about your needs and wants, and discover how you're using (and want to use) Mastodon.

This week was tremendously helpful for us, and we're grateful to everyone who participated.

Here's what we learned: blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/discov…

New in Mastodon 4.6: Newsletters 📬

Mastodon servers now support email newsletters, which allow people without a social web account to subscribe to your posts via email. This feature is opt-in at the server level.

We're building Mastodon for people and institutions that want independence from corporate-controlled social networks, so they can reach their audience directly wherever those people are.

The landing page of your Mastodon server doesn't need to look like a social media feed.

As of our latest release, those running Mastodon servers can now set up a custom landing page that highlights what your server is about and showcases recent posts from local profiles. Give visitors a curated introduction to your server that actually makes sense for your community or mission.

Collections let you curate, share, and discover groups of profiles, to help you find the people and content that interests you.

Here's how they're different:
✅ You decide whether your profile can appear in Collections and you can remove yourself from a Collection at any time
✅ Limited to 25 profiles each, no mass-follow shortcuts, and transparency when Collection details change to keep them useful and spam-free
