Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! 🛤️ This morning we added a small but meaningful feature: 🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available. ➡️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️ It will be available in next release to test it out!

What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse on your terms? With Mosaic, we partner with you to build custom Bonfire extensions that connect your existing tools to the fediverse. 📣 Details:
