In about 45 minutes, @baldemo.to will speak at #ATmosphereConf about how we can make communities a native part of ATProto, the protocol that runs Bluesky, using Furrylist as a starting example. 🕝 2:30pm local, 21:30 UTC 📌 Performance Theatre 🌐 Remote: Stream 2 🔗 atmosphereconf.org/event/WObY04Q

Following the recent influx in Japanese-speaking accounts, we've posted our welcome post in Japanese (h/t @mow.fyi and @neb.gay!). If you know any Japanese furries, fursuiters, therians, ... who don't know about FurryList and our feeds yet, please share this post with them. 🙇

And time for some furryli.st lore... Our mascot is a little critter called Skyler. They're an arctic fox who loves rollin around in the snow with friends! The original design is by @newton.dog, and I'm going to link to some of the awesome fan-art we've received over the past year in this thread!

Hey! You there! Welcome to BlueSky! We're FurryLi.st and we run feeds for the furry community. These feeds are the easiest way to find out what's going on in furry bluesky and get your posts seen by more furs! Dive into this thread to learn more - and please share to help fellow furs find us! 1/?

I just submitted to present at #ATmosphereConf! “furryli.st: Scaling Community and Belonging in an Outrage-Driven World” Good luck to all the other submissions!

for anyone going to @furfest.org next month, the #MFF feed is live for 2025 🫡

it looks like someone stopped chewing on the cables. the feeds seem to have started slowly recovering again!

the @furryli.st feeds are currently unavailable due to the current Cloudflare network outage according to Cloudflare, they are currently implementing a fix, but we're still affected we're monitoring our systems and will update this thread once the feeds are up again!

🌱 A new era for Furryli.st TL:DR: I'll be stepping down as the Chief Executive Otter behind furrylist and I'm handing over the leash to @codingpa.ws. Thank you to everyone who has played their part in making it what it is, and, I look forward to what will happen next. Musings in thread...

h oly shit furries on a boat,

Love going to cons, but hate figuring out who else is going? You might want to check out the @conlabels.furryli.st labeler 😉

#FWA #FWA25 feed on @furryli.st btw “liked by 69 furs” nice

Thanks to @woof.bsky.social, the Furrylist Video feeds now support the new “TikTok” style scrolling on mobile! Check out his thread for all the details and links to our video only feeds!

How time flies! 365 days later, and another 26500 or so furries! Hope you all are having a great Christmas, spending time with loved ones and community ❤️ ~ @ottr.sh

And we're back! Moved onto some new infrastructure which seems to be handling the load much better 😉 Let us know if you spot anything odd - there's still helluva approvals queue for us to work through - we're working on that as fast as we can!

Hey folks - having some technical issues - we are going to work on this as fast as we can but feeds will be down in the meantime. Hoping to resolve today.

Seeing plenty of new furs making their way over to BlueSky in the past week - which is awesome. Seeing the site grow day by day at the moment! Here's a little reminder of who we are and what we do - and a guide of how to join in the fun with the Furry Feeds!

Let's keep a promise ! Just few things : - Link to the HD res below - I can update this map if you want to appear in it. You just have to respond to this post. - Most of the these accounts are NSFW. Keep it in mind before exploring it. - If you want, I can create StarterKit for each community..?

dead bird effect @furryli.st, update

Running FurryList has quite a few costs associated with it, from the domain to the servers that host the feeds. At the moment, costs are around $100/mo but with the growth in bsky, we've had to scale things up, which has increased our costs. You can help keep the lights on at ko-fi.com/furrylist

We've approved 725 new furs onto the list today - and there's another 662 of y'all in the queue. Apologies if things take a little while, and a huge thank you to my team of approvers!

blu wolf for blu sky 🐺💙

Also - whilst I've got your attention - let's talk about how to mark your posts as NSFW. This is super important to make sure your posts aren't seen by those who shouldn't see them, and, it also makes your posts easier to find by those who should by making them show up in NSFW feeds! 1/?

We’ve updated the art feeds to also include posts that have videos and are tagged with #furryart Let us know how it feels !

See a post you like? Click the heart and let the author know. Spread the love. #BlueskyTips

Curious on thoughts ! Should videos tagged #furryart be included in the Hot/New Art feeds ?

🚨 New Feeds Video support is rolling out across BlueSky, and we've dropped some new feeds to give you the best videos from furs. If you enjoy the feeds, give em a like as this boosts discoverability. Remember, follow @furryli.st to have your posts show up in the feeds! Feeds in thread!

For what it's worth, the fix was basically "wait for more people to post videos" 😅

the graphs are unhappy

Erm, yes. It's all a little broken - you may need to give it a few hours to calm down a little 😅

I blinked and mere moments later @woof.bsky.social had already written the code to support this 🎉 With any luck, I’ll release this tomorrow and we will be able to test it as soon as the BlueSky team start rolling out the ability to post videos 😌 ~ @ottr.sh

LETS FRICKIN GO!! My plan is to release some Video FurryList feeds before the end of this week. This will most likely be: - New Videos (Mixed SFW/NSFW) - Hot Videos (Mixed SFW/NSFW) - New Videos (NSFW only) - Hot Videos (NSFW only)

Proud to see one of us (furries) and awesome member of the @furryli.st team getting the recognition they deserve for publicising ATProto on Wikipedia ! Check it out !

sorry everyone the furrylist servers fell over - picture related

For anyone interested in how it's going with the Brazil migration to Bluesky, we're consistently at 15x our normal daily peak traffic This graph is just kinda crazy, 4 days ago we couldn't imagine the amount of load we're seeing on our systems right now The team is holding it down and doing great

the Brazil effect @furryli.st

Woah - quite the influx of new furs since the latest news about X and Brazil. Figured it'd be worth dropping a link to the info thread about what FurryList is and how to get involved! Please feel free to share to raise awareness for those coming to BlueSky! ~ @ottr.sh
