Updated my test mastodon instance, listodon.com, to v4.5.6 and updated TangerineUI to a nice lagoon theme for the default.
I had some slowness during this upgrade, I'm not sure why. At one point I thought it was completely stalled but it finally completed.

We’re happy to announce that Mastodon 4.5 is now ready for prime time! Quote posts, async fetching of replies, server timeline visibility settings, more moderation tools, and lots and lots of other tweaks and improvements.
Announcement on our blog: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/mastodon-4.5/
Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.5.0
Mastodon server admins, important news!
The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".
Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.
If your server matches these:
- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans
...then see this post for details: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989802617165343
