First patch notes of the public cohost era! As we keep saying, we’ve been blown away by the response to cohost so far. We shipped a Lot of fixes in the last week and are in progress on new Features and other exciting things!
new things
- if you’re not activated, you can see your place in line! check your settings page!
- if you’re activated, this card won’t appear, because you’re already activated so there’s nothing to show there.
- USER AND TAG SEARCH
- we’re going to be adding full-text search for posts Soon, but there’s more complexity there so it’s not time yet.
- changed our Terms of Use to remove an unnecessary rule against “using a fictional name or alias” after user feedback.
- added a persistent link to the bug tracker in the right sidebar.
- reading this in the cohost corner? look up!
post-launch fixes
- fixed an issue where only a hundred or so people knew about eggbug.

- fixed a bug where if a private page changed anything on their profile, it would accept all pending follow requests. this was a serious oversight on our part; we want to apologize again to everyone impacted, and note that we’ve taken measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
- fixed a bug that caused posts from unfollowed private accounts to appear on tag pages (displayed as empty post boxes, but with the user’s username visible and the first few words of the post body leaked in the single-post link.)
