hey returning users! features we might have added since you were gone: - videos - DMs - pinned posts - oauth for 3rd party apps - starter packs - stackable moderation - custom feeds - search is good now - app is prettier and faster - I work here now

Not a priority, but could we also promote sex bots and remove the block feature and pay people for ragebaiting and fire almost all of the original staff and have a list of words only a select few people can say but the majority of others can't? I have a feeling it'll improve the user experience!

I can't test it right now because I don't have a .gif on my phone but I think you don't even have to convert it or anything, you should be able to just directly upload a gif through video instead of image

Most things seem to upload gifs as mp4s anyway so I'm assuming it shouldn't take much

All we need now is an edit button, so we don't have to delete a whole post when we make a typo! 😀, thank you for all other features!

Will there be a way to customize Discover? Yes I know I can sub to other feeds, but my For You page actually kinda understood me on Twt and so far it's been miserable over here trying to remove certain stuff, like "show less like this" doesn't seem to do anything...

It felt pretty bad to hit mute or block on people I've never interacted with just because I don't want them on Discover. I hope there's a better way someday

Idk if I see someone wearing a diaper it’s an instant block (and there’s a lot of that here 😒)

I just wanted a safe place to write when I feel sad 🥺 and it's all here! 💖

You can unfollow (for people you've followed), or mute people so you don't see their posts.

cin / kaz :]
because of all the posts of people sharing their interests i genuinely read this as a list of your interests 😭 i saw videos, DMS and pinned posts and then went "what a second..."

something that would be nice is a better way of managing multiple profiles. On similar services such as twitter, its common for creators to have multiple accounts, e.g one for personal stuff and one for art. Being able to have "sub-profiles" that people can choose to only follow one of would be cool

Emil
separate accounts on subdomains, e.g. @konomi.io and @art.konomi.io and @blabla.konomi.io might be a solution? I've been doing something like that. the account switcher works quite alright
1
Konomi
that's a good idea that i didnt think about. from there the only thing that would be needed is a way to connect profiles together, so viewers can switch between them with like a bar at the top or smth rather than requiring bio shenanigans
2 1
Konomi
starter packs and lists seem to be functionally similar to this, but arent two-way, and you would need to be able to set a "main list" or something so it appears without being in the tab
1
Emil
Ah I see you wanted a native feature that lets others see multiple profiles as connected. Dunno anything better than linking them in bio text Does some other platform have it, dont think I’ve seen that anywhere?
1
Konomi
i don't think i've seen it implemented anywhere personally, but it's something that i feel would be useful for a lot of ppl. if there's less sacrifice for using multiple profiles, then people will do it more, and followers will have more choice for what they see
1 1
Konomi
to be honest the main want is being able to seperate different types of posts you make. another idea is being able to create categories for your profile, then you can post to a specific category. when someone is following, they can choose which of the users' categories they get posts from
1 1
Emil
ah yeah I kinda have the same want. best solutions I have seen are: - multiple accounts - include tags in all of your posts (- easy to make a bsky feed of just one tag) but I don't have the discipline to tag all posts and it's just annoying. but seen some do it on twit earlier
1
Konomi
tagging doesn't give you all the features you may want, as you'll still get all posts from the user when following them. for a general user, that only works when you're specifically looking for that person's posts (if even that)

Daisy
I need to be able to bookmark and return to read in full later, how? 🥰

Degen Council
also i don't know if anyone else hated this about that other social media app but when someone would reply to me, if I was on a replying tear, I would have 0 idea what they replied to... way to do a threaded view? Not the whole thing maybe just a snippet to get the gist of what the topic was.

Do we just bug the support account for feature requests or is there a project manager here on BlueSky we can contact and we all know it'll inevitably just be us harassing them for features? Please let us know lol

Simon Bayliss
Could you make the "see less of this" button work? I have zero interest in manga or furry art yet am being bombarded with on my Discover feed, despite repeatedly clicking the see less option

annyare
I absolutely neeeeed bookmarks! So many great things to save or remember 🙀🤷🏼‍♀️ come on just do it!😹

Hughster
Thanks for all your efforts. Discover still needs fixing to stop it being full of pornographic anime cartoons regardless of how many times you hit "show less".

I feel like something missing is the ability to copy link on mobile (for if your device doesn't have that as an option in sharing, you otherwise would have to share to web browser to get link to share post to discord, etc to advertise)

MrCoWorker
don't fuck this up bluesky, this is your chance to actually be a better alternative for twitter. make the right choices.

Meli Bear
Being able to hide all reposts from someone I follow would be awesome! There's folks I like to follow for their art or their jokes or their celebrity who just spam reposts for things I'm not interested in, but I don't want to lose their unique posts.

SogekiDan
Is there any way you can get it so if I post a link on discord it shows the tweet along with whatever image/video/gif is posted? I wanna share people's work to my friends who aren't on board yet but posting the link only just shows a link and they gunna be less likely to click and see

Penny
obviously you're asking for an official solution, but until then, if you add an "x" after bsky to a link, it will embed. bskyx.app/ (insert rest of link here)

My starter packs don't work when I try to generate one for me. Getting a 500 over and over.

It's really cool!! I wonder why i can't use gif, just a black screen and i can't doing anything in that.

Hey there grats on the job ^^ I have noticed on web app my scrolling seems to freeze for a moment and snap forward when a video begins to play, not a huge deal but just saw this post after so keep it up :)

Thanks for the reminder! Can you tell me the plan to make the iPad version better? And, what about the decision to use Tenor instead of GIPHY for gifs? GIPHY has much more selection and doesn’t have some of the issues Tenor has.
Jam 🍒
Crop function on uploading photos would be fab too. But you're doing a great job Samuel and Team!
Birphon
but no GIF support except for the GIF Menu? like if i was to upload/send a .gif format it would be uploaded as a still image :(
Sami
Now all this place needs is to be easier to share art/videos from here on places like Discord (embedding stuff) and mainly the phone experience (the left and right button on post with two pieces of art blocking the art and having to press the X button to back out) and it's golden for me :)
Saskboy from Saskatchewan
Starter Pack UI bug Bottom list item chopped in half. Uploading video of yhe bug gives: An error occurred while compressing the video. (Android screen grab)

Can you folks at Bluesky add group chat DMs? That’s literally the only thing I need to quit twitter for good. I have a really good couple of friends group chats that I can’t have on here. :( . I do love that you added a lot of features though.
Aegwyn
can you guys consider adding private accounts, i see that as a big hangup for a bunch of people on twitter
Thom Jeff
Any chance for a Mac app with a resizable floating window? It’s either tiny or full screen, which is kinda a pain.
Chip G
The only feature I really miss from the other site is bookmarks. Any chance we can get those?
Penken
One teeny teeny teeny tiny request and this site will be perfect for my friends and I. Would it be possible to implement a scheduled post feature? It'll seriously help with the workflow!
Valis_KR3
And hopefully keeps the bots and fascist off of the platform. That would be nice.
Déb 🙃
Image and gifs and groups for DMs please Sam I never asked for anything.. pretty pleaseeeeee
Alex Mitts
My big requests: • Turn off reposts per user. I like seeing what some friends repost. Others think EVERYTHING is worth reposting. • Let me add my own gifs to replies. • I might be missing this, but is there no "bookmark/save post" feature just yet?
GlitchyAnimations 🇺🇦
I would love if you would add a bookmark feature on the app, this way I could come back to a certain post easier than look through all my liked posts. Also thanks for your work on the app ^w^
FastrThanYou
OK but how the hell do I get my discovery to stop showing me constant anime and fan art? I've blocked like 50 accounts and clicked show less on 100 anime posts yet that's all you show me.

Alex Russell
Yes! This!!!!! Please, please, please does anyone know the answer? I have never searched for (or liked) any of this stuff yet it’s constant 😬

bonk
pls add copying and posting video embeds i need my reaction videos without destroying my phone storage
⋆✩ renn is suffering
Uploadable gifs, bookmarks, trending tab, post queue, and private accounts when? (more serious question: is there a place where the devs showcase features they're working on/planning?)
Space Galactic
Im just a random user and loving bluesky. But I heard some people kinda reluctant with bluesky because of no private account Another one that I read this morning is they want block = auto unfollow/eject from their account, which I think is logical. Hope that helps
Pl☆w!Rot
Yoo we have videos now!! I remember the last time i was here we were waiting for videos to be available :D
X-Stacy
apparently most users have access to a volume slider on videos, but some people (myself included) still don't. is that still being rolled out??
Degen Council
two quick things i noticed in onboarding process - the verify email code could be a bit easier to copy/paste and 0/O are confusing, should eliminate 1. Just some thoughts. Overall looks much better than last time i was browsing :)
