Mastodon 4.6 introduces email newsletter support, allowing creators to send posts directly to subscribers' inboxes without requiring a Mastodon account. The feature targets media organizations and independent journalists seeking portable, privacy-friendly audiences outside Big Tech platforms. Newsletters are not enabled by default due to server cost concerns, and require specific server-level permissions. The release also includes refreshed profiles and Collections (similar to Starter Packs). Mastodon hopes this will help grow its user base beyond its current 735,000 monthly active users.
