While the Mastodon client API is relatively complete, the frontend is not. It is therefore not advisable to upgrade existing Iceshrimp instances at present. Setting up staging instances to help us with testing is very appreciated, however, and will help us ensure eventual upgrades go as smoothly as possible. +> This is beta software. The Mastodon client API is relatively complete, the frontend is rapidly improving. Nonetheless, we don't recommend to upgrade existing Iceshrimp-JS instances quite yet. Setting up new instances and reporting bugs is very appreciated, however, and will help us ensure eventual upgrades go as smoothly as possible. > > If everything goes well, we estimate that there'll be a stable release by the end of 2024.
