at:// links not opening in Firefox? Now they do ☄️ I made a tiny extension that redirects @atproto.com URIs to your preferred AppView — starting with @bsky.app @blackskyweb.xyz and @bluenotes.social 🩷 Works with posts, feeds, lists, starter packs and both @standard.site publication and documents 🔥

🔥 The Blacksky mobile app is here. Today we're opening up our public beta on both iOS and Android. If you've been waiting for a native mobile experience, now's your chance to try it before our full public launch and help us make it even better. 🧵👇

happy Monday, I wrote up my decision-making around our new endpoints.bsky.app HTTP reference! Thanks everyone for the push to do this 😊

Something interesting just happened that brings some questions I know @standard-reader.app respects Bluesky's blocks, and I've just seen it happening not allowing me to open an article from a person that I just found out is blocking me (from a mod list, not a big deal, I don't mind) But...

@bsky.app is global. Your feed shouldn't have borders. Introducing auto-translation for @skeetsapp.com - read every post in your language, instantly. The conversation just got a lot bigger 🌐

Bluesky picking up bots and spam accounts before I can even get into the app to check the notification, while probably over half our followers on X are fake, still. I just wish this app had the equivalent of Spaces cos I'd definitely move.

Big improvements to @skyreader.app making it more social! Articles you share are now published as a @standard.site linkblog. Follow Skyreader linkblogs in any @standard.site reader (or traditional RSS reader!) Finding your people in Skyreader is also now much improved. Let me know what you think!

@pfrazee.com question. is there a technical reason why social-app forks are not able to quickly launch native apps? We have blacksky and mu and witchsky, yet no alternative social-app native apps. @rude1.blacksky.team I recall you putting out a request for development contributions to put out an app

@toni.bsky.team @alexbenzer.com i think yall need to wrestle with the fact that the app’s most distinctive feature (“custom feeds”) is something only (relative) nerds use and benefit from. normal people won’t swipe between many algorithms or whatever. have a look at past designs for “communities”

Feed Builder is now working

what reader are you using? and are you RSS in a bunch of accounts or feeds or a mix of both?

Substack's CEO now trying to scare people into *only* distributing their content through their proprietary app, not email. (The link he posted warns users away from email.) It's not enough that Substack's locking in publishers & readers with "notes" and comments, now they're escalating tactics.
