PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is. It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it. It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

Threads on Bluesky should feel more like conversations you’d have IRL. We’re testing new systems to improve reply quality. See what’s coming: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Also new in v1.109: custom feed operators now receive more interaction events. If you run a custom feed, now you'll know when people like, quote, repost, reply, and see posts in your feed. All valuable signals that can help you drive higher-quality recommendations in your feeds.

v1.109 is rolling out today! #NewProfilePic We've given the app a mini makeover with some new shades of blues! Plus, a whole bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements to make your experience better.

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.

app devs: we have some new AT OAuth resources and examples for you! linked off this intro page we have new example projects showing how to do client auth using reference SDKs for TypeScript and Go. and the buried lede: an Expo library for doing AT OAuth in React Native mobile apps

Enough time has passed that I can definitively say that the “everyone is 12 now” post is THE load bearing post of Bluesky. The hall of famer Bluesky post. It commands respect even from Bluesky skeptics and haters

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Hide Reply is a miracle of modern social media. Thanks BlueSky.

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%. Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

I watched this year’s Emmys through Bluesky instead of in real life and I don’t regret it, that was juuust enough knowledge for me
