Wow. I had no idea on BlueSky you can enable external media so you can watch YouTube videos on this platform. It overcomes the problem of only being able to upload 60 seconds of video here. It’s gets better & better

Hi Tiff, just go to settings, scroll down to “Privacy”. Click “external media preferences (or something like that), then you just enable the ones you want in the list.
This site seems like im going to be learning some new tricks. Kind of cool, the site I was in before started charging for some basics. Fk*elon and his lackeys.
Dear #Australians, this isn’t the bad Peter so when the other one does something dumb don’t harass this one as some of you have been known to do in the past 😆
I love that if one of my bloots posts a song link that's a yt link I can hit play and not have to worry about it taking me to a whole new app and it just plays here 🥹
If you're on a desktop: Settings > External Media Players > then select the toggles to whatever site you want to enable
I'm pretty sure it works the same on your phone once you find the settings section. There's someone who showed how to do it on a phone on this thread. I'll tag you in it🙂
Much easier for content creators as well, that have uploaded videos to YouTube, to not have to upload them to another platform when it's not really necessary. Great idea, and I hope they keep that in place.
So if you enable YouTube videos you can upload longer videos overall or are youtube videos the caveat? I wanted to upload a video earlier but I wouldn’t want to have to upload it to YouTube to post it.
The problem is that Google then gets all of the IP metadata about you. That’s a privacy issue. Hopefully BS self-supports longer videos in the future however this would be expensive.
The only thing I liked about Threads was that you could mute or remove someone from your post before you blocked them so that nobody else could see them either when reading your post. I haven't seen that feature here yet but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot?
I am guessing the Bluesky folks are in full blown panic mode trying to keep up with the influx of users which is happening.
They appear to be doing a damn good job imho. 👍💙
It's still taking this old lady a while to navigate, then learn how to use things connected to this site and interwebs. It's like my cell phone, it has all these cool features, yet the only ones I can use without screwing up is calling, texting, taking pics and adding them to a text.

Maybe we could BS it....but oh hmm
Keep up the campaigns

People I will not follow. Even on @bsky.app
No judgement here for blocking /muting as a way of pruning out those who just follow everyone.
Quality over quantity seems to be a good mantra☺️
Hope this helps, Not The Bad Peter
Deleted that toxic vehicle earlier, and already feel invigorated!
Porn finna be fire now!

Using Youtube as a workaround has become my normal.
