   The preliminary work has already been done: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/e232/fep-e232.md

     Note that this is not exhaustive, and may change!
     
     We are also working on more long-term features, like the much awaited quote posts, but those need some preliminary protocol-level work before we can start the implementation.

     Please remember that the core team is very small, with only one developer! Many of those features are contributed by various volunteers, but we also work on fixing bugs and improving many non user-facing features (performance, security, admin & mod tooling…).

     - Improve (or re-do) the Emoji picker

     - Support system setting for light/dark mode

     - (maybe) Make it easier to interact on other instances and make it easier for websites to add a “share on Mastodon” button, through a trampoline domain

     - (maybe) Rework/rewrite the announcements feature, to allow server-generated announcements, for example to highlight new features or help with onboarding

     - Continue to improve onboarding, by having a screen to set your profile & main settings (like search discovery) without leaving the onboarding process

     - Rework notifications, with grouping support (Your post has been boosted by X people, instead of a notification per boost)

     - Federate link previews to avoid having each instance send a request to the URL, causing a lot of trafic (not an easy problem to solve, may move to 4.4)

     - Notify users when relationships (follows, followers) are severed, due to a server block, display the list of impacted relationships, and have a button to restore them if the remote server is unblocked

     - Improve account recommendations, to help users find relevant accounts to follow

     - Redesign all e-mails, add a few onboarding e-mails to help getting on board with Mastodon, and send an (optional) weekly digest e-mail

     In the last few weeks, I have been trying to organise the #Mastodon development work, so our (very small!) resources are used efficiently. This led us to a tentative roadmap for Mastodon 4.3, with a (very optimistic) release date before Christmas.

     Here are the main items ⤵️
