1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source

This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.

We 💙 the open web.

Simply to measure
The moss with a soundless
Quick step, was a pleasure
Strange, stirring, and boundless.

We’re testing a new feature! Starting this week, select accounts can add a livestream link to sites like YouTube or Twitch, and their Bluesky profile will show they’re live now.

We’ve been adding safety features like notification filtering — if you’re getting lots of notifications, try turning them on to cut through the noise.
bsky.app Bluesky @bsky.app · Jul 26
📢 App Version 1.89 is rolling out now (1/3)

We’ve added a “Priority notifications filter.” When you turn it on, it reduces notifications from people you don’t follow.

Here’s how it works:

• Replies, mentions, and quoteposts: followed users only
• Likes, reposts, and follows: everybody

In the latest app update, we added the ability to temporarily deactivate your account. This will hide your profile and posts but keep your handle reserved. Take a breather for as long as you need to!
