@girish Mastodon 4.0.0 is GA!

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Are packages auto-deployed across all app installations or requires opt-in?

Never mind, after a bit of poking around it seems DigitalOcean does not allow for port 25 outbound (at least not that I could find), so needed to configure external SMTP service (via SendGrid). Maybe there's a better/cheaper way to do this, if anyone has guidance on that happy to take it!

@jdaviescoates I'm wondering the same thing re: change of user management, as I think I installed the same way, but for an externally-created user can only log in via email address (not username). Do you have the same issue? Hope there is a way to change this after the fact, vs. recreating the app instance (though I fear that is what may need to be done...).

@jdaviescoates Sounds like I'm going to need to do the same thing, i.e. reinstall without integrated LDAP. Re: losing followers, wonder if you can migrate your account to another server, re-build your Mastodon app, then migrate back?

@jdaviescoates Hmmm, yeah you're right, that's not ideal. Looks like some places indicate it's a 7-day cooldown period, so would not really work too well unless you want to stay in the new home for a week, then migrate back... Also indicates "Your toots will not be moved, due to technical limitations." - not sure if that's a blocker as well. Wonder if you can export your entire account, rebuild the Cloudron app, then restore the account with the new user management setting applied? I'm about to nuke and rebuild my app, but it was a fresh instance so not losing anything of value... Good luck mate!

@girish Hmm OK, well I'm rebuilding the app for external app user management vs. Cloudron so that may be the way to go for the type of use case I'm looking for... Thanks.

Yeah well TBH I'd wait until 4.0.1 (or 4.0.2...?) to roll out, seems some teething pains on 4.0.0 which isn't unexpected. Bleeding edge!
