who here wants drafts? ✋

new app tracks your goals on atproto. i did not ask for this level of accountability very cool @sri.xyz

thanks for the love @techaltar.bsky.social! we know this feature isn't for everyone, but it matters a lot for some. appreciate how you highlighted the privacy-first approach we took here (thanks to @retr0.id)

social is better with friends — now it's easier to find them here!

If you could change one thing about the design of this screen,

for anyone having trouble entering a birthdate in the app, see @esb.lol's post: github.com/bluesky-soci... TLDR make sure you're logged in with your primary account password, not an app password. if you don't have your primary password, reset it.

lots of small but important improvements in this release. with this wave of Age Assurance work done, we can refocus on growing the @bsky.app team and building features for yall!

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

if we built a twitter archive importer so you could find people you know from twitter on @bsky.app, would y'all use it?

we're working on getting search back up, hang tight

monstera deliciosa. hopefully tastes more deliciosa than monstera

Bluesky's real product is quality conversation and connection. the app just delivers it to you. bsky.app/profile/bsky...

this labeler is seriously amazing @stechlab-labels.bsky.social

we've reached 40M. time to roll out the midlife crisis features.

is there a “weird fish i cooked for dinner” feed yet?

hit us with your bug reports, seen a few entirely new ones this release 🙏

lemme know if you have any bugs with this one! put a lot of work into stability this time, should be less crashy

x's newest feature: ads that cover up your tab bar 👏

push notifs for activity notifications should now be much improved - old ones will now stick around, instead of being replaced by new ones. collect endless notifications to your heart’s content kudos to @esb.lol for this change!

hey folks, we've heard reports that some posts and accounts weren't showing up in search. there was a technical issue on our end that prevented a small number of new posts and accounts from getting indexed. we're backfilling the missing data now, and search results should return to normal soon.

"Where can we sit together on the internet? Where do we go for a stroll? Where do we find the digital equivalent of the remote hot spring up in the mountains, or that hidden hike to the waterfall?" news.spencer.place/p/alive-inte...

procrastinating on bsky is work, right?

blue skies in joshua tree last week

good things comin

We're considering a feature that would let you specify topics you're not interested in, in addition to your existing interests. This would influence the content shown on your Discover feed and the accounts recommended in Explore. What do we think?

We're working on a redesign of the post interaction settings. What do we think? Open to suggestions on what we should add or remove here.

> user posts something > gets a ton of replies, some low quality > user restricts interactions to people they follow only > pre-existing replies from non-follows still appear Wondering if we can improve upon that 🤔

threads like this highlight the best part of social media — how it can lead to opportunities and relationships that change your life what if more platforms optimized for relationships over engagement?

if you're saying "hmm, i think i could help and make this better", please come help us! lots of different roles open that can help move the needle in a lot of different ways.

Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

if @bsky.app introduced a "Zen Mode" — what do you think it would be? what problem would you want it to solve?

challenge accepted 🫡

forgot about the 10X meme lol ok ok — 9.8X engineers also welcome

we're hiring a Product Engineer at @bsky.app! social is changing quickly — our team is defining what comes next. if you're a 10X React Native dev who wants to ship features millions use daily and help bring the joy back to social, get in touch: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...

thanks for the coverage @sarahp.bsky.social

no saved posts left behind i love this so much

behold! the glory of saved posts (aka bookmarks) we were living in the stone age before this now i can properly archive all yall’s genius… and unhinged takes

don't sleep on this, it makes adding people to Starter Packs way easier. give it a try!

feeds are one of the most interesting and unique parts of @bsky.app — so we're making them more useful and powerful. more on this soon...

lots of quality improvements like this coming to the app soon, along with some bigger stuff 👀

yes

truly astonishing how far this small team has already come but it's still just the beginning www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...

"algorithmic choice" is one of my favorite principles at @bsky.app. most social platforms decide what you see. we think you should have control when you want it. Custom Feeds are a step toward that vision — what do you like about them today? what feels clunky or missing?

this goes here right?

this feed by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social is really quite good can you imagine another social network encouraging you to use a feed it didn't control? no? that's why @bsky.app is different

welcome to bsky @vextmagazine.bsky.social!

@joshuacitarella.bsky.social i'd love to see more of you here on bsky

who is the best react native dev you know? (after @samuel.bsky.team and @esb.lol ofc)
