Today, I wanted to introduce you to Categories - a new feature that is essentially a multi-mags view. A new tab will appear in the user panel where you can create categories (public or private) and then add magazines to them (local or remote). In the magazine listing, there will be another tab that will list public categories created by users (which can be liked - in the future, this will transform into a subscription form). In the category view, all filters and sorting options are applied, and it also collaborates with the Aggregate view.
Additionally, I’ve patched several annoying bugs - media preview from comments by clicking the icon, improved navigation in the aggregate view, remote magazine listing in the content submission form, and a few others.
These changes will be implemented on the instance tonight. With this note, I conclude the month, and starting tomorrow, I’ll be 100% focused on developing the new ActivityPub module and matters related to instance moderation.

EDIT: In all seriousness, this stuff all seems great! I think “collections” would be a better name than categories though.
Boring update containing the feature I wanted the most and the fix that was the most annoying.
Yeah, soo boring.
You’re right, ‘collections’ is definitely a better name for it! Changed ;-)
