I like this site enormously… it’s my only port of call now. 👍
I am, however, still searching for its centre.
Whilst all the lists are useful… I still don’t quite know where to go to get to the heart of it all, the place where you don’t miss a thing.
Summat’s a tiny bit missing.
Don’t know what. 🤷♂️

I just saw there's a trending topics thing there.
I've no reference to how it works on Twitter as I never used it.
😁👍🥃👊💥
Anyway I thought fuck this and I've just created a list with only you in it 😄
Assuming that will solve the problem 🙃
He’s got his own list
He’s got his own li-ist
He’s Reecey Dinsdale
He’s got his own list! 🎶
What can I say ...
Every post'll be a memory 😘
Hope you read the Alt Text btw 😉
Well remembered. 👏
Will have to follow your lead so I don't miss out.
😁
Have you added the Popular with Friends bit?
(You can find it in the # at the top right of the screen, or in the trending bit now).
I've put that on, and the Mutuals one.
Mine do anyway. 🤷♂️
I’ve never done that.
Made a favourites list now .. that does make it easier to follow the people you want to see 👍👍
I know what you mean Reece, bsky can be a but discombobulating after twatter
@iancaveney.bsky.social I see trending on the magnifying glass/search
No complaints but would like to see some Labour politicians too
Keep searching, It just takes time to build your algorithm from scratch 💪.
There is a mix of political and non political feeds to help diversify your algorithm if desired
I'm still trying to find that extra elusive 'something' too, but at least this is not a cesspit of hate like the other place!
I love it here but the algorithm (she says as if she knows what the hell she’s talking about) is fragmented..
It's rather frustrating, isn't it?
I also keep seeing post about The Archers! I haven't actually worked out how to tell Blue Sky I'm not interested 🙃
🤣
Joke -obviously, yes I know what you mean.
At least people can discuss civilly.
The inside is still under construction and second fix is starting.
As long the vermin are kept at bay all will be well.
Good morning Lou… 🖖🏻💚☕️
How did you set up that tab, 'Lou's favourite posters'?
Any help to find the beating heart of 🟦sky would be appreciated 🤗
Going to make my life a bit easier and more informed!
My idea, but my friend set it up as he's a tech guy.

Less advertising, I suppose, though.
Centre suggests a particular focus, but that is just my understanding.
I am playing three quite different roles in one play soon, and love that chance to play multiple let's pretend in one performance. 😊🙀
Their only actual post was lamenting they everyone here is a snob apparently.
Shall we have some caviar? 😆
New community just let it develop.
It’ll happen though…!
I’d hate to have grown up in Glenrothes or Milton Keynes!
Here it's definitely different. As I can't get you and others on notifications I find I'm missing stuff. To trawl through individually those I rate every day is a pain
They are working on it
so that's a positive development.
It’s all very respectful though even when there are different views.
There's a happy medium somewhere, busy enough to be interesting, but you still hear your picks on the jukebox 😉
I’ve just added you to my must read your posts every day list.
I have found the JustPosts feed useful.
It took a while to weed and grow the group I followed on twitter, I think I need patience more than anything. And it would help if everyone had moved over, kept the same name & pictures. We will get there
Instagram keeps trying to drag me to Threads but I prefer here at the moment 😊
The companies X exodus is slow but it is starting.
But, the centre here is you, me, everyone. This place is built for you to curate your own space rather than have things pushed at you, 'cos we know how that can turn out, don't we?
No algorithm means no algorithm that can be tampered with.
I flutter between mutuals and popular with friends feeds and have found it quite organic.
Lots of very interesting people with varied interests that I’d never have found back over there.
On Tw*tter we were directed to the centre of its owner's choosing by a mysterious algorithm.
Here we are free to choose from anything, because nothing is highlighted more than any other.
So we create our own heart in the things we enjoy the most.
Dare I say - even the ‘dark side’ has this.
That way you will never miss a post from someone you consider important.
What I would like to be able to do is to flag it to say that it is wrong.
I could delete it, but that puts holes in the record, and this seems to me to be a better way.
There was a whole episode of Happy Days where even the Fonz couldn't admit that.
Personally, I do concede that occasionally I am not as right as others.
I don't claim to know everything, only that I'm right about things that I have thought about properly...
Following a few who have made the move here. I guess it’s just time.
I do feel more calm.
I feel like I’ve cut a cancer out of my life.
If ai never read another post from Musk I ll be a happy man
I am trying so hard not to make negative comments about the rise of the right and to be positive but it's not easy to positive in today's world.
I'd like to see more UK and European posts but 95% of what I see is US news.
I was pleased to see 'trending' introduced but it's far too skewed towards the US to be useful to a Brit...
And I only Follow Brits and Europeans.
But I suspect over time, as the platform becomes more established, the needs/wants of the majority will be included.
As long as someone like Musk or Zuckerberg doesn't buy this place and destroy it.
It's great once you get used to it.
1 there’s no algorithm, other than the one you create!
So it takes a little time to build up the people you follow, the Feeds, use a few starter packs on what your main interests are!
…
1/
So importantly, move between your different Feeds(different pots) don’t just sit on one.
After a while they’ll all come together on the Discover feed
If it'd help, I'll have a go at replying to your posts in the manner of a hysterical, acidic right-wing troll.
Nah, that's more than I can stand..flashbacks!
I'm calling it.
Disco eyes Scrolling
1) Who owns this site, how is it funded?
2) Will it become a place for unrestrained ads?
3) Can it be hijacked by a billionaire for nefarious purposes?
4) Are we simply in a loss-leader phase right now?
5) What next if 1-4 turn bad?
Just be part of it all
