This worked for me! I have been looking for this fix. Thanks @lizneeley.bsky.social.
A while ago, we started a #FixItFriday tradition. We keep a running list - large & small, digital & analog, anything broken or annoying - and work on it together.

To all conference attendees everywhere, please never decline a mic. The loudness of a voice is not the only thing that makes it intelligible and so some of us cannot hear you regardless of how well you project.

This is my 11th year of tweeting this plea at various conference

I think I made this feed to pick up all posts tagged with #POD24 from the last seven day: bsky.app/profile/did:....

I used Skyfeed, which is what @lindsaymasland.bsky.social used last year.
