If you've been putting off a fediverse plan because it kept moving, that was fair. A lot settled in the last six months. 🧵 Here's what's new, what it changes for your channels, and where the numbers are smaller than the headlines.

Tip of the week: use Insights in Buffer to find your top performing LinkedIn post and give it a little $ boost. Even a small spend can meaningfully extend the reach of a post that's already doing well.

Interviews ask candidates to show up with thoughtful questions about a company they've mostly seen from the outside. We started sending the answers first!

This is one of our favorite new Buffer features. It's an alt text generator that makes images work for people using screenreaders. Generate, save, post, done. ✨

In our team Slack channel, we have this StreakBot encouraging our team on their Buffer Streaks. Would your team use something like this? Leave us a comment telling us more about it if so!

July brought a lot of movement on Bluesky: a public roadmap for Communities, two app releases, and a fresh push into open publishing! Here's the round-up, pulled straight from Bluesky's own sources. 🧵

As of today, you have access to Insights in Buffer! 🎉 Your numbers can tell you a lot, but not always what to do with them. Buffer Insights helps close that gap. It reads what's working across your channels and suggests what to try next, you can act on right away.

When you next sign in to Buffer, you might notice you land in Home. This is the new hub for all your social activity. 🏡 Home brings elements of each area of Buffer into a single view: - Your posting streak, goals, and comment score - Your next 3 scheduled posts (there's more!)
