I know people are moving here from Threads and other places in hopes for a better experience, and to get away from the impact of changes to policies (Meta, for example). Remember that BlueSky is still new and, as such, will not always get things right. 1/2

Lists are a great way to make sure you see both posts and replies of a subset of accounts here. Create a list, add anyone to it, and voila.

I want to like it here, and my guess is I will need to engage more, and tweak some settings. And, the experience feels buggy. The Mutuals feed misses posts. The Discover feed shows me people I already follow. And the Post button being at the top right is a design pet peeve. Very much dislike it.

This is an interesting take on what we have seen tech companies do to gain favor. For me it illustrates the terrifying reality that the incoming administration works in fear and uncertainty.

Well, I placed the BlueSky app in a more prominent place on my iPhone, and hide the Threads app. And, I know too many people in IRL, my wife included, on IG to ditch that completely. We will see how this goes. Some cleaning of who I follow here is likely in order.

I was just about to post something similar, and Mark beat me to it. And, I found this post while browsing the Mutuals feed, so there you go.
Highly recommend adding these three feeds: Mutuals, OnlyPosts, and Popular with Friends. Very nice to curate your experience based on what you’re in the mood for.

Lost my first toenail since starting to run over ten years ago. Couldn’t really figure why as my mileage has been pretty low compared to other years. The I looked at Strava’s year in sport thing…elevation gain up 49% over last year. Yep, that’ll do it!

So, I keep getting followers here, and I haven’t posted anything, or really done much on here yet. May not be super active here either…unsure. I do know, I am not an immediate follow you if you follow me. I will only follow accounts I find interesting. That is all.
