Now you can opt out of having your posts shown to non-followers in the Discover feed. We know not everyone wants to go viral. Sometimes you're just posting for your followers. This is one of a few updates we're working on to give you more control over your experience and help you find your people.

thread numbering badges now show up on posts in feeds! to see them, make sure you have beta features enabled. you can do that here: bsky.app/settings/bet... once that's enabled, you should see them on posts in feeds like in the photo below. let us know what you think!

it’s so funny how aggressively men’s products are marketed sometimes. like why is there a random football and bigfoot 😂

Came to LensCrafters for an eye exam and just watched a 16 yr old pick out Meta glasses for his everyday, prescription glasses 😭

We're redesigning the notifications tab! 🔔 It's one of the most visited surfaces on the app, and a lot of you have told us it could be better. Here's a look at what we're exploring. 🧵

we're planning v2 of our standard.site integration in the bsky app the goal is to make the "subscribe" button work. when you tap "subscribe" on a link card, what should happen? e.g. - get notifications on bsky when new articles are published - see new articles in a feed or separate tab - more?

Hello id like to spend all at once please

More prints incoming!!

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

how do you want to see notifications improved on Bluesky? we're investing a design cycle into improving the Notifications page. tell me what would make this page more useful for you.

Nothing is more comforting than knowing you have a small animal waiting for you at home 🙂

At this point I mostly visit my parents’ house to hang out with their cat.

Seeing clips of all the Japanese and European tourists coming to the US for the World Cup and losing their minds over ranch sauce, free chips and salsa, and Walmart is absolutely sending me 🥺

Ordered Uber Eats delivery and somehow still ended up doing curbside pickup because the guy’s car broke down and I was too hungry to cancel my order.

Super excited for my first project at Bluesky to launch! (Sorry it wasn’t an edit button 😔)

Along with group chats, we've rolled out a new way to share your profile and invite friends to find you on Bluesky. Check your profile — you'll see a new share button. You can use this to create a personalized QR code other people can scan to more easily find (and hopefully follow) you.
