                                              MastoBlaster build 95 is out, and I am getting close to declaring it stable.

                                              The biggest update in this build is making the Home tab behavior completely explicit. Under the hood, I changed the tab dispatch in MastoBlasterApp.swift, added the Home tab notifications in NotificationDelegate.swift, and moved the actual scroll/refresh behavior into TimelineView.swift so the timeline state stays coherent.

                                              Here is exactly how it works now:

                                              • Tap Home from another tab: Switches back to the Home tab.
                                              • Tap Home while already there: Scrolls the current timeline to the newest posts.
                                              • Tap Home again while already at the top: Refreshes the timeline (with a 1.5-second cooldown to prevent accidental spamming).
                                              • Long-press Home: Opens the timeline picker.
                                              Other changes and fixes included in build 95:
                                              • Added a setting to completely disable Apple Intelligence.
                                              • Redesigned the notification view to be larger and make much better use of screen space.
                                              • Fixed the compose window layout for small devices like the iPhone mini.
                                              • Profile and banner images can now be tapped to enlarge.
                                              • Added support to approve or deny follower requests.
                                              • Added per-instance and per-account connection timeouts.
                                              • Added a visible Back button to the settings sheet.
                                              • Updated the filtered notice UI: it now shows "Filtered Post ()" directly in the header and removes the separate "Matched:" line.
                                              Test it out and let me know if everything holds up.

A long, sleepless night…

                                                                                                                                                            Here is what changed:

                                                                                                                                                            • Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.
                                                                                                                                                            • Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.
                                                                                                                                                            • Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.
                                                                                                                                                            • UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.
                                                                                                                                                            • Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.
                                                                                                                                                            • Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.

Sportarten, die zumindest in und Nordamerika sehr viele Fans haben, gibt es nicht oder nur unter ferner liefen. Allem voran ! Da läuft gerade eine WM und brüstet sich damit, dass sie zu bereit stehen.
