mentioned it to a couple people now but: I’m feeling really good with where the app is right now. it’s never looked or felt better and I’m really proud of our lil team
Hey thanks! I’ll look into that. This would be me putting together a starter pack for my followers on IG/Threads to have an easier time making the switch to here, correct?
Appreciate you and the team! 😄
Bluesky is truly the best! I love how people communicate here. For the first time in years, I can relax and enjoy social media the way it was meant to be. I am eternally grateful for the work you and your team are doing to build this platform. Your dedication really shines through.. 😊
I ditched my two remaining IG accounts today. I was there from the very start, pre-Zuck. It was my go-to for photography. I'm a little bit lotta bit in mourning, tbh...
Well done!
Will you ever have trending section, it's one of the few things I miss. It seems there's no way to catch a sense of the larger trends, or maybe I missed something.
Merry Christmas from us to you 🎄🎁💙 We launched Trending Topics today, and you can find it by tapping the search icon on the bottom bar of the app or the right sidebar on desktop.
Touch the age stamp of any reply*** and you can see the comment it is responding to.

Congrats to the team. First week here and got used to the app quickly, content becoming more relevant, finding more and more people from other apps. No performance issues. 👊
You’re doing a great job! I’ve really been enjoying spending more time on here, has been a really fluid experience between app and desktop and looking forward to seeing what else is in the pipeline
When you have a solid foundation, it allows for outcomes and impact of substance vs simply trending hype as we've historically seen, Samuel.

I love this app, it's friendly, a lot easier to connect and is miles away from the toxic X. Hopefully it stays that way, I believe we will help police it along with admin/regs etc.
Great job, poss still some improvements but hey-ho!
I'm.sure you guys will get there ❤️🏴
You guys are doing amazing. This app, this community, this information platform, is vitally crucial right now and you are literally affecting history.
Thank you. 🙏
LOVE the real time/rapid updates in here to current events. Following what is happening in LA and elsewhere much easier than other sites. Wish the feeds were from most recent to older. As a new user, as I am engaging more, I am getting engaged with a ton more. Makes this an interesting place
Is there a way to filter out all the porn/dating/single women who have the exact same profile message on their profiles type of accounts? Because so far it feels like more of my followers are those accounts and I really don’t want them.
Love the app. While we at it, would it be possible to get an edit button and maybe increase the character limit to, let's say 500? We have a lot to say.
Please?
it's definitely functional and i like my feed. however there's a bit of a question mark over how aaron reacted to @literallyjustadog.online 's bot doing nothing wrong, ye should probably figure out a stance to take on that since it'll happen more and more, even if you stopped aaron from posting
I'm liking. BUT, in the last couple days I've had two dick pic closeup videos enter my feed. Nasty with movement. I reported by for sexual and described them as dick pics. Surprised I've not had that with X. My feed is set to the one on the left for exploring new people.
thanks for building us this awesome alternative place to gather as a community without oligarchical oversight. it means so much. remember, you’re more than dev; you build hope 🙌
There’s minor UX and feed filtering improvement I’m still holding out for, but I would take how it is now over an over-bloated platform with 10+ years of feature creep any day.
It passed the threshold of ‘stuff I want to see is getting posted faster than I will read it’ a while ago now, which is my primary marker for a successful platform
It’s really looking great! If we could please have more character limit and the ability to edit a post for a few minutes, that would make it even better!
Here’s an old tune for you and the team:
‘Here, all we have here is sky
All the sky is is blue
All that blue is is one more color now…’

Just arrived a few days ago when Szuck caved on facts. I never really liked FakeBook but I didn't know why. Turns out that scrolling for an hour to find ONE post worth reading among the million ads and the disinformation was a big part of it, I realized after a few minutes here. Great job, y'all! 👍
I'm about to delete my Meta accounts in favor of full time BlueSky. I'm an Android dev and it's a great app. I appreciate the work you've all done. It may end up being more important than any of you knew when you started.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU all for providing another social media avenue. I stopped using fb dec. 24, 2023 because i couldnt handle it anymore. It would be great if in the near future you could include a messaging system. Everything looks really great here, looking forward to the future.
