For anyone looking for their daily fix of furry friends and funny videos, I published my Surf feed, PetTok. Pin it to your Bluesky home for a daily distraction 🐕🐈🐰🐾

🦋 Big news: Surf custom feeds can now be published to Bluesky! This means Bluesky users can discover, pin, and share Surf feeds within Bluesky’s environment — making Surf the easiest way to create custom feeds for Bluesky. 🙌

@mmasnick.bsky.social I noticed you don't have any Bluesky custom feeds :-). Good news, you can now publish your @surf.social feeds to Bluesky. Super simple, it's an option in the Surf feed's 3-dot menu. + new Pinned Post feature lets you intro the feed. Just sharing the latest, 🙏.

@thekenyeung.bsky.social would you be up for trying the new features today, pinned posts in Surf feeds and publishing to Bluesky! it would be cool if Bluesky people could pin your Surf feeds. (*caveat: only Bluesky posts will be visible, so just need to be sure the feed has good Bluesky sources).

I REALLY like the “Published to Bluesky” touch after you’ve shared a feed. 🤌🏽

@parkerortolani.com we rolled out a new Surf feature, where you can add a pinned post to your feed and publish it to Bluesky! check it out and let us know what you think. 🙏

@bsky.app should feature this one, open social is right in their wheelhouse and this is such an awesome custom feed!

If you follow the personalities building the open social web, @tchambers.bsky.social has curated the best #fediverse custom feed. Pin it for a your daily dose of the future. (p.s. he built it with @surf.social and you can create feeds there too, join the waitlist with SurfSky, we'll keep an eye out)

If you're building @surf.social custom feeds, you now pin posts in your feed and publish to Bluesky 🔥! If you're watching the #NBAPlayoffs like me, here's one by @yorush.bsky.social that you'll love too. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hearing from @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy live was an edge-of-my-seat experience. In conversation with @mmccue.bsky.social, he goes through time and space so fast, it was hard to catch all of the the first time around! I am excited to be able to watch it again. #fediverse #SXSW2025

No better time than now to pin the NBA Threads feed! If you can't see it in this link, go to your Feeds on Bluesky and search NBAThreads (by yorush). bsky.app/profile/did:...

@profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social i'm torn on this issue of accepting an invitation to the WH. you both seemed to say you should accept, but i really respect sports teams and celebs that won't publicly support and soften opinions for leaders that are so counter to American values.

Music track for @juliaangwin.com piece today in the @newyorker.com

What’s new on Surf? The big one this week is new “Exclude” options, which let you test removing news and topics you don’t want to see in your custom feed.

@physgal.bsky.social I'm on the team building @surf.social, it's a social browser that pulls together conversations from Mastodon, Threads and Bluesky into one place. We'd love to test with #WomenInStem. Would you be open to trying Surf and creating a custom feed for the hashtag? Thank you!

@ketanjoshi.co I'm working on @surf.social, it's a new browser for social posts across Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon. There's a community of climate experts on these platforms. We're testing how to bring them together. Wondering if you'd be open to trying Surf and creating a climate custom feed?

no words can make this clearer.

@emily.space I'm on the team building @surf.social that lets you unite community conversations from Mastodon and Bluesky. Since there are great astronomy hashtags used across platforms, and you'd see all of the posts together, I was wondering if you'd be open to testing the Surf beta?

Journalism is under attack by Elon Musk. He is NO friend of the media, but outlets continue to invest in his platform. I understand the need for traffic, so go ahead an post. But please, tell every reporter you know that it's time to encourage people to follow them on open social platforms. #media

"Because I’ve seen this movie before. The history of the internet is filled with examples of closed networks being forced open, or dying, as the underlying technology becomes commoditized and open sourced. And that almost always leads to more innovation, more access and a better user experience."

“Everyone thinks it’s just Bluesky versus Twitter. But it’s bigger than that,” McCue said. “(The development of the open social web) has been overshadowed by all the things happening in AI. But this is absolutely a revolution.” @crazystupidtech.com @fvogelstein.bsky.social

"The big tech companies have become as powerful as the 20th Century television and phone networks once were - the primary source of our news, entertainment and communications. Being able to easily change the channel when we don’t like the programming is something we should all want and expect."

The 4th Estate and journalism is under attack by Elon Musk. He is NO friend of the media, let's stop promoting X on newsletter and websites. I love @democracydocket.com, but this template doesn't match your mission.
