Cool stuff coming in Mastodon 4.3 (stable soonish?) for #ActivityPub C2S enjoyers
Particularly interesting: a new standards-based (!) OAuth discovery and dynamic client registration mechanism
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24099
ie no more creating boatloads of unnecessary clients using the non-standard Mastodon API!
standard: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-parecki-oauth-client-id-metadata-document-01.html
anyone can see it in action today on the main instance, which runs early 4.3 builds:

@andypiper, any new hints on when 4.3 will be released?
iirc I read a while ago it was _supposed_ to be July, but I'm probably out of date on that
@js the beta was intended to be out during July. I'll be putting together the July engineering summary blog post this week. Still hoping we can share a beta very soon. but I do not have a specific date. The team is trying to tune grouped notifications, I believe.
@andypiper ok, thanks!
