People said it couldn’t be done, but we cracked the technology:
Videos can now be up to 3 minutes long!
Put another way, the Bee Movie now only takes 30 posts. (Please don’t test that.)
Some Lists are harmful to the #BlueSky community.
In addition to tooling to reduce DM spam, we’ve also added a new Chat Requests screen for messages from unknown users. You can accept or reject new conversations here.
Mute accounts more quickly!
Tap the “…” three-dot menu and select "Mute account" to mute directly from a post.
We’re also pleased to include 3 new community translations: Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, and Esperanto.
As always, we’d like to thank our contributors and translators, including new contributors NicolasBorlet and seth-wood!
you did not yet fix the bug of use of resources which forces to close the window after each message or composing hungs. Opened one months ago. Nothing changed.. 4 minutes to compose this message. ☹️
stressful if we didn't have Bluesky. Thanks.
List to help you all:

Now things still on my wishlist are
- please let us upload our own gif
- and send images via DM
- the option to untag people in replies so that one doesn't reply to every single tagged person.
Impressions are such uninteresting..
Thank you
More info here 👇
Other than the ones we create with feeds and lists.
- Group chats
- More emoji report
- More than just a heart to react with (add sad face, support react, etc for depth)
- Public calender and event integration (people stay on fb for this)
- Profile colours
- Skins
Please consider an easy account switcher from the compose screen so I don't have to keep composing posts and then discarding to switch accounts and rewrite 😆
If i have to leave my post in progress to go to another screen its gone... Very frustrating..
Lots of info here 👇
[Thank you for the #ScottishGaelic ]
The only thing I am missing is notifications from selected accounts. 🔔
سوف نقاطع المنصة ونحذف حساباتنا، إذا لم تضيفوا اللغة العربية للموقع والتطبيق الرسمي.
Can we please get bookmarks and also make it so the timeline doesn’t jump to the top when refreshing?
Their spellings are CRAZY! 🤪😂🤣
I love it. One of my best friends is Welsh.
I’m sorry, but that’s nuts.
What about encrypted chats and group chats?
If I've blocked an account it's because I do not wish for you to even see my account in any way and it seems odd to me that they wouldn't be removed as a follower on top of preventing interactions.

The profile’s main page is so cluttered when all sits together in a giant pool of mess.
Please, just add an extra “Reposts” tab, and let us have our own thoughts and posts to live in “Posts” section.🙏🏻
In your spare time🙃, we also need a way to remove our accounts from being added to Lists w/o permission...They are being used to misrepresent us & limit our voices by those with differing views.
Unless there is & I haven’t found out how to work it yet 😅✨
Thanks in advance 🙏
Muting serves to minimize unwanted exposure to certain content without entirely cutting off interactions.
When you block an account, you won't be able to see that person's profile and replies — hidden though a "blocked account" bar,
In searches, a blocked account won't appear, and the person also won't be able to see your account since you've blocked them.
Hope it helps!
i imagine that once bsky properly implements nonpublic data (posts, likes, blocks etc are all public to allow it to function in a less centralised way) theyll get to expand DM features
also private accts & bookmarks
yes i will keep posting this
but i'm still happy to be here
Also Octo Expansion? Very based!
But the 50mb maximum file size is a problem in this case :)
I am very thankful for you and the other people that I followed and interacted with on the other site for posting here.
quem vai testar?
Bookmarks in next version, please!
We could just blame Jerry.
But you're missing out!
Or is it now done internally?
(💖)
Feature request - please let us create new posts while on hashtag results screen.
ie - I tap a #hashtag, I'm taken to a screen full of posts with #hashtag in them. I want to be able to start a new post without leaving the screen I'm on. Ideally with #hashtag prepopulated.
You know how humans are.
Thank you!!!!!!
Videos max file size was increased from 50MB to 100MB, As seen here: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/pull/7916
(The error when uploading bigger files then that will still say 50MB as the message hasn't been updated yet)
50MB limit is a chokehold in 2025
I can comfortably work with 100
Most of the shorts I have are just under the 100mb mark.
Or maybe you do? Canada is not listed as a language country. Would appreciate if you could direct me.
BTW, thanks for including 1st Nations. Very cool
With the tariff wars on, it would be really nice to curse in Canadian English.
Unfortunately people would try to use it to block people they don’t like and accidentally block people doing opposition research. All journalists follow people they don’t agree with.
I hope to eventually see larger filesizes allowed for images.
Also wondering if the "jump to top" button on the lower left of the mobile web version was removed? It's still there in desktop mode. I've gotten so used to it that I'm having a Brian Regan "something changed" moment. 😅
(It's been recommended to my yt page for a month...)
Keep us free from toxicity
please

I can't get rid of it & It's vile... Help...
-caption option for video in accessibility
-optical character reading alt text generator for text screenshot images
-editable alt text
Only thing missing now is bookmarks and the site is pretty much perfect! Keep on doin' what yall are doin' Bluesky team!
Will there be a way to schedule posts in the future? 🙇♂️
Mixing up blue sky with a phone app… so sorry.
- DM approval/rejection inbox
- Mute accounts from post menu
- Improved moderation reporting
- Better tablet layouts
- Better signup error reporting
Atleast with Twitter images uploaded can occasionally be PNGs, compared to here where everything is a JPG.
LFG
(sometimes I remove people that follow me but don't seem interested, but they haven't done anything wrong)
3 minute vids!!
3 minute vids!!!
Me:
When I can finally post 3 minute vids 😩🤌
Go update your apps
I got some art that's time dependent, and I'd like to not forget again!
Without drafts, you have to start your post again.
Everything you originally wrote just disappears.
It's like editing an email that's already been sent. Bluesky is like Gmail, the protocol is like email.
My coding days are so long ago, I have no desktop and the laptop is tucked away somewhere.
I want to make sure I don't miss anything from certain people.
Bookmarks would be good.
Aldo edit feature, pleas.
https://bsky.app/profile/s3indiana.bsky.social/post/3lh3jqtskps25
I do it all the time - lots of typos!!
Being able to go back over items once he is in bed would be so useful.
2nd this.
Check out my profile & click follow!
I want lots of fun followers who like to interact politely.
Frankly, I'd love a replacement to Facebook, since it's gone uber toxic, but so far nada.
I don't really like having to explain a meme to a friend
Are private accounts in queue? Where only your connections can see your posts. Without this, I don't really feel comfortable posting much right now.
Plus you can set a quality filter or adjust your settings to not allow messages from people you don’t follow. Media in DMs is basic feature available across all other social media platforms
Tons of messaging apps exist, won't be too hard to migrate off site for other stuff.
But I don't think they can manage the budget for this. It will be a huge load and they would need to figure out a way to counter it.

Chat only benefits 2 individuals at most unlike posts in general. And i guess the coding is also a lot different. It's basically value vs cost.
#BlueSky #Notifications #BlueskyImprovements #BlueskyUpdates
Just doing my routine begging for an edit button.
Love the work y’all do ~
Still would love to be able to post images and gifs/videos in the same skeet.
Also the ability to turn off reposts for specific accounts. 👀
There's no sort option, it's nothing fancy, but it's better than nothing right now.
So far no luck...App Store, etc...
Any hints? Thanks!
and an edit button. definitely an edit button!!!!
but yes, the algorithm is kinda wack. Been trying to get rid of politics and it still somehow seeps in to my feed despite over 42 muted words, 200+ blocked accounts and countless "show less of this"
https://bsky.app/profile/mmuds.bsky.social/post/3ljxi6ui3wc2y
Can we please get functional gifs?
Want me to find a howto or do you know this already 🫣
Here’s the feed, as Bevin’s mentions:
https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q6gjnaw2blty4crticxkmujt/feed/my-pins
You will then have a library of all your Bluesky posts as well as your other web content.
