Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Canada’s @theglobeandmail.com does Bluesky right. They post just the links, no text (why bother when the headlines of the articles are in the embeds?), and you can tell it’s really them because they know what a TXT record is.

I use Huginn and Dokku for agent actions and hosting small remotely-run apps, respectively. Is there an open source project that I could install on either that would manage feeds here on Bluesky?

Today, we're launching a feature that a number of Bridgy Fed users have been asking for: notifications for unbridged interactions.
You can learn more about how we've done this while also preserving the privacy of the unbridged user in our latest blog post: blog.anew.social/launch-dm-no...

Then the pitch to end-users is ending lockin to an app. If you dislike Bluesky, you can move off but keep your data. It's data portability via a personal cloud (the PDS).

This is totally the selling point. It's actually one of two: the other selling point is helping to solve the cold start problem. They're not Bluesky's users, they're members of the atmosphere.
Going to go out on a limb with this one. ATProto's biggest selling point to me as a developer was the ease of being able to build an application with a store for user data and authentication already baked in. No need for a backend.
I still think that's a big draw for me and one of its biggest pros

Nice that Doctorow is going to run a PDS but it's a huge "do not listen to this person about anything ever" sign here that instead of admitting his previous claims about bsky were total bullshit, he's going to pretend that something about atproto changed

It’s mind-bending that one can use a domain as the handle of their bridged fediverse account on Bluesky.
