@SDF Better, but would recommend you commit to the upgrade path.

Mastodon 4.6.0 – Current release. ✅️

Mastodon 4.5.x – Legacy release. ⚠️

Mastodon 4.4.x – Entering the retirement phase, with a recommendation to upgrade to 4.5.x or newer. ❗️

Mastodon 4.3.x and older – End of life, discontinued, and no longer supported. 🚨

Mastodon is moving to 5.0 by the end of the year. They're already on 4.7 nightly. Once 5.0 drops, development should return to a stable, predictable release cycle.
