We're psyched to partner w/ @404media.co at #SXSW. Starting @ 5pm 3/10, @samleecole.bsky.social, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social & Blood in the Machine's @bcmerchant.bsky.social discuss how AI slop is taking over the internet & how humans can fight back. Then it's Indie Media Q&A + party! lu.ma/hffhi9sn

Here's what's been going down in these waters: Lots of polish for our Dawn Patrol Beta testers, plus many cool #SurfFeeds to browse and some iPad love.

Anyone here going to be in Austin for #SXSW? We're stoked to be in conversation with @bsky.app's @pfrazee.com and COO Rose Wang (among many others) as part of our stacked lineup March 9-10. đź‘€ Details and RSVP: about.flipboard.com/fediverse-ho...

I've made a #SurfFeed focusing on news and events around #Aberdeen. If you are on @surf.social and live in the area, check it out.

Bluesky has an incredible community of #movie experts: critics, #journalists, #filmmakers, festival programmers, and really knowledgeable fans. We've used @surf.social to create a custom feed of what they’re saying, filtered to ensure all posts are about #film. bsky.app/profile/flip... 1/7 🧵

Between @micro.blog.web.brid.gy, @bsky.app, and @surf.social, I’m really excited about this new era of social. You control your content and the content you consume, not the billionaires and their algorithms.

Hands down, this custom feed created with @surf.social is the best way to keep up with the #news on Bluesky. The list of sources was curated by Flipboard’s editors. Let us know what you think.

The Flipboard editorial team is always curating quality #news. Now, we've used @surf.social to create News Takes, a custom feed of perspectives from top #journalists, covering the latest events, filtered to ensure posts are on topic. đź“° See featured sources in the thread. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I've been using @flipboard.com's new @surf.social app—it provides a fresh look for discovering content across the #Fediverse. Here are my thoughts on why it's useful for those looking to break free from Big Tech + how it better connects decentralized communities. thelettertwo.com/2025/01/26/h...

I’ve created @surf.social feeds for every single prominent #Fediverse software distribution.

The SkyTok feed with Bluesky’s new video rendering mode looks AMAZING! bsky.app/profile/mmcc... We’ve managed to build a significant % of #tiktok as a custom feed on the social web in under a week using surf.social and this work from @pfrazee.com and team. More to come. bsky.app/profile/mmcc...

It sure is... LFG 🏄‍♂️

Welcome to SkyTok! - Videos tagged with #SkyTok (no NSFW please) - Trending videos on Bluesky - Coming soon: videos from your network; vote up with ❤️ Made with surf.social If you’d like to make a video feed like this for your community we’ll help. Use refer code “SkyTok” at waitlist.surf.social

The revenge of the hashtag! "To make this feed, @mmccue.bsky.social included all videos tagged with #BookTok and #BookSky. "...because those tags exist on other apps, when you use the feed on Surf itself, you’ll be able to see videos from other services like YouTube, Threads, and Mastodon."

Flipboard’s new app Surf adds its own video feed, too

The looming #TikTok ban and the flight from #Instagram are driving a ton of new innovation on the social web right now. The ability to take an entire walled garden experience and just make it a feed on AT Proto is mind blowing. Custom feeds on the social web are the future.

We've got your back on this one. You can follow all your favorite people on Pixelfed on Surf (and add them to custom feeds with other people, hashtags, RSS, etc). 🌊 Join the waitlist if you haven't already: waitlist.surf.social

Just a note: i'm really loving @surf.social as one of my fav social apps for #BlueSky, #Mastodon and Open web content all in one set of feeds. Still an early beta and already leveling up my experience on each of these platforms.

We're excited to see @surf.social included in the latest #Fediverse Report! 🏄‍♂️ If you haven't joined the waitlist yet, sign up now: waitlist.surf.social

đź‘€ Been playing around with Surf, which is very cool (though I really need it to be available on desktop to use it fully...). But, it's getting even cooler already.

We’re now testing the ability to federate Surf feeds to Bluesky. To kick things off, I’m federating Voices for Democracy which features posts from 120+ journalists, writers and leaders. Only politically related posts are shown thanks to Surf’s topicality filter. bsky.app/profile/mmcc... 🧵1/9

You can add @surf.social to this list.

We can’t agree with every platform’s decisions, but we can vote with our feet. Surf wants to free our social connections from being locked up in separate self-serving networks. It’s a browser that lets you easily create and surf custom around the things you care about. 👉 waitlist.surf.social
