DM to bookmark

@bookmarkit.bsky.social

DM me a post to bookmark it. Temporary solution by @matteason.me until we get real bookmarks. See pinned thread for more details.

Real bookmarks are here! Except they're called Saved Posts! But the icon is still a bookmark! Just ignore that bit! It doesn't look like the Bluesky API lets apps create bookmarks yet, so I can't build a converter to automatically transfer over your DM bookmarks yet... (1/4)

Bluesky popup reads Saved posts: Finally! Keep track of posts that matter to you. Save them to revisit anytime.

Good news! You can now delete bookmarks to remove them from your bookmarks feed. You'll need to go into your DMs with me, then long-press on the message (on mobile) or hover over it and click the 🙂 icon (on desktop) , then use the 😢 reaction. The bookmark will be removed from your feed instantly.

Oh hey! We've just passed 1000 users! And somehow crossed over and become big in Korea! (안녕하세요!) Thanks for trusting me with your bookmarks, I hope you're finding this account useful. I'm over at @matteason.me if you'd like to follow me (he said, reeking of desperation)

Happy Sunday! Thanks so much to everyone who's been sharing us. We're nearly at 1000 users. Why don't you give someone the gift of knowing how to bookmark stuff on Bluesky that, if we're being honest with ourselves, they'll probably never look at again.

Hello, I'm a way to save bookmarks until we get a real bookmarking feature. Just DM me a post by tapping the three dots on the bottom right and selecting 'Send via direct message'. Type my handle (@bookmarkit.bsky.social) to find me and send me the post. You can practice on this post if you like 🔖

Post options menu showing "Send via direct message" as the third option

If you're finding this account useful, please share it! Because your bookmarks with me are private, unlike the 📌 feed, it's harder for people to discover this way of bookmarking by chance

Sorry if you found that the bookmarks feed was down a few hours ago - it looks like it's recovered now. Don't forget you can always look in your DM conversation with me to see your bookmarks if there's an issue with the feed

I'm working on a Bookmarks feed, so you'll be able to see everything you've DMed me on a private feed on your home screen (next to the Following and Discover tabs). Watch this space 💫
