Bluesky Post Statisticator
This will generate a CSV spreadsheet of Bluesky post statistics (number of likes, reposts, quotes and replies) from a given timeframe. All processing is done in-browser and no data is stored anywhere. It takes `(total posts / 100) * 0.1 seconds` to pull all your posts after clicking "Login". If it appears nothing to be happening, please be patient and wait a few minutes!
Blacksky Isn't Just Another Bluesky. Here's the Difference.
Blacksky is built on the same open social network as Bluesky and many other social apps. However, we're building ours with a different purpose, different priorities, and a different vision for online communities. Here's what sets us apart.
Last week, the Bluesky app shipped a content visibility declaration setting to let people opt out of having their posts appear in feeds like Discover. How your app might use that setting is all about intent and reach. bsky.network/blog/content-visibility-decla…
Using the Content Visibility Declaration
bsky.networkThe frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.
also it is completely bonkers that @bsky.app requires you to select a "Hosting Provider" on login and i have to remember whatever @eurosky.social's address is. guys, if you want this decentralization thing to happen, it should not suck so much to use! the Bluesky app should just read it from my DID
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...
Every time you view or like a post or take most actions on Bluesky or Blacksky your requests go through your Personal Data Server (PDS). It’s also the home of all your data. To date, we’ve used other people’s software to run Blacksky’s fleet of PDS. In the next week we’ll be migrating to our own.
Bluesky's AppView performance has not been so great recently, right? Long loading times with "Please check your internet connection" or "rate limit exceeded" Thinking it may be folks off of the Bluesky PDS's. Thought it was android oddities, but I get it on desktop and have heard from others
