happy thursday! smaller patch notes this week since we’ve got a few major things in progress, one of which we think should be live next week! for now, here’s what’s new:

  • the “Posted!” toast message now correctly indicates when you’re saving a draft
    • sorry if the old behavior caused undue stress. jae was impacted by this a few times too.
  • fixed a bug where logged-in users under 18 would see a fully empty post instead of the “this post contains 18+ content” message when 18+ posts appeared on their feed
  • added support for MathML in posts
    • this one’s for the real sickos out there
    • since handwriting MathML kind of sucks, you might want to use a conversion tool like prechoster or temml.
    • we might make further improvements here down the road and would appreciate any feedback y’all have!

  • fixed a bug where trying to discard from the modal post editor would softlock the site
  • internal changes for performance
    • audited all our feature flags and removed ones that are no longer relevant
    • fixed some internal moderation SQL queries that were slow enough to impact the entire website
    • made it easier to moderate users before they’ve been activated

that’s all for this week! thanks, as always, for using cohost! :eggbug:

oh my god thank you so much (collapsing to my knees) thhahank you so muuuchh :eggbug-heart-sob::eggbug-heart-sob::eggbug-heart-sob: (apology accepted and oh man im relieved to know it wasnt just me getting scared by it)

if i had to guess probably things like rule-breaking icon/header/description, or users who are known to be, like, terfs or nazis offsite (both of which staff have acknowledged pre-emptively banning even before they post anything too egregious). i dont remember if unactivated users can add tags to rechosted posts but if so that would also entail pre-activation moderation if they add rule-breaking tags

the suggestion of "upvotes" carries with it the implication of reddit's upvote-based post and comment sorting system, which falls under both metrics and algorithms, but that could have been be a mis-read of your suggestion.
either way, you can make a feature request (or vote on it, it's probably been requested before)
