I left twitter to escape this garbage. Now I see right wing propaganda occasionally appear in my feed. There isn’t a way to filter out right wing specific content, so I find myself having to block each individual user which is cumbersome. Is there a better way?

Also - why aren’t some of these people banned? They are promoting hate, greed and bigotry which is against our TOS.

I belong to a couple prepper sites on FB and would like to start one on Bluesky as apparently no one has started one there yet. Does anyone know how to start a list or group?

Beginner question — What is the purpose when people reply with just a pushpin 📌?

Is it just for their own personal use (maybe they can search in their own replies?)

Or is it being “found” by other services? Like getting added to a feed? And what might those be?

Or something else?

As of 3 days ago anything I like or repost or even post just doesn't show up? Issue just kinda came out of nowhere and I'm not sure how to fix it.

So when I watch a video on Bluesky, on its thread, it seems fine. But when I put it on fullscreen mode, (like, when I tap on it to get a bigger size of it) the app closes. And I end up on my phone's homepage. Like, what's going on?

When a link is posted to BlueSky, it appears that the OpenGraph data fetched is cached. Is there a way to force a refresh so that a subsequent post of the same URL uses the updated OpenGraph data?

What I miss most about Twitter, fast news, many people weighing in -- for example, when a poll came out consult posts by poll pundits to find out if it's a good poll, biased, etc. Bluesky is not there yet.

Is there a feed that has x/twitter posts without logging in for those occasional times I need the fire hose?

Are we able to put videos or gifs on BlueSky yet? It will let me add a gif but it's just the first frame and won't animate. Is this coming soon or is there another way to embed motion content?

I hope that writing about this can either help me understand or communicate my point otherwise.

I speak Spanish and so I configured BkueSky to be in Spanish. However, there doesn't seem to be a strong prevalence of content from my country. You see as many posts from Argentina, Spain or Chile.

I'm not sure how this works for other languages, but if you compare it to X, the fact that you see tweets from issues that you're not even familiar with makes the feed less interesting.

Of course, there is stuff from other places that could catch your attention. I can consider cases where like if you are following a specific topic or feed.

But mostly for news and the public opinion, stuff from other countries becomes relevant as long as someone near you is talking about it.

Also, most of this doesn't need to be reinvented. Mass-media studies (McLuhan, Bourdieu) researched many topics like agenda-setting and geographic relevance half a century ago.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to connect with Indianapolis-based news channels, organizations, radio stations, or journalists who are active on the BlueSky app. Does anyone know of any? I'd appreciate recommendations for both general news and niche topics like sports, community updates, or local events. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to transfer a block list to a different acc? Any scripts or anything? I'm being stalked by art accounts I do not want following me so I want to start over but I have over 900 blocked & don't want to do that again

I had an account but no matter how many times I put in my email to get the code to reset my password, I never get one. I have checked my email and the app. I also have tried multiple phones and I don't have access to my account anymore. What do I do?

I don't know if this breaks the rules, but I want to use the "sexually explicit (cartoon)" label for a couple drawings I made, but for some reason it's not listed on the content warning labels list for me. I've gone to the moderation settings many times and I've come up empty-handed. Is there something that I'm not seeing?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I want to pin to my profile a photo album that I can add to.

I see these questions about “4 albums” but I’m not sure that’s the right thing.

If it’s possible can someone maybe post some screenshots?

I guess the other option would be to link to a Facebook album?

Bluesky’s "Build in Public Starter Pack" captures the essence of what it means to be an early adopter—openness, collaboration, and innovation. If you’re ready to stay ahead of the curve and actively shape the future of apps, now’s the time to dive in.

Starter Pack >> https://go.bsky.app/GCFvkML

Feature request: Add accessibily option "Suggest AI generated Alt-text for images". Perhaps offer a list of providers for users to select from. While posting, a first alt-text page to offers suggestions and "Let me write my own" which goes to second page with a blank suggestion. The second page is basically the existing alt-text editor.

There is perhaps a use case for adding alt-text after an image is posted. The goal here is to help users make content friendlier to low vision users - a process that can be, well, a bit tedious.

Say, you guys were right, I was supposed to do that then I found was fail.

I'm going to start my projects then I was complete in real life and then buy the stuff for work, this is going to be great for me. Also I was take for day to think should I delete or not (sorry for took the days).

Just like Marcus Aurelius, I've learned to focus on the present moment, letting go of past regrets and future anxieties. When you prioritize the present, the past becomes a lesson and the future becomes a hopeful promise.

I tried muting and blocking accounts, hit the "show more/less like this", added keywords to the block list and still see 3/4th of my feed polluted by political posts. The whole reason I moved away from Twitter (I'm not calling it X) is because of how political/racist the content became after that a**hole bought it. But it seems to me that BlueSky's algorithm isn't picking up on what I want and don't want to see. How do I make my discovery feed actually match the interests I selected.
